MONMOUTH — The Good Shepherd Food Bank’s food mobile will distribute food — including fresh produce, perishable and non-perishable items — to people in need in the Monmouth, North Monmouth, Leeds and Wayne areas Thursday, June 21.
The truck will be at the Monmouth Town Office from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Anyone in need of emergency food assistance in those towns may visit.
The food bank’s mobile program allows expansion of its outreach to Maine’s neediest and most under-served communities. Designed to be a low-barrier distribution, the food mobile visits communities with a demand for emergency and supplemental food that has outgrown the capacity of local food pantries.
This distribution has been made possible through the generosity of the Helen and George Ladd Charitable Corp.of Wayne.
As the largest hunger relief organization in Maine, Good Shepherd Food Bank provides for Mainers facing hunger by distributing nutritious food to more than 400 partner agencies across the state, including food pantries, meal sites, schools and senior programs. Together with its network, the Food Bank leads a statewide effort to combat the root causes of hunger by engaging in advocacy, nutrition education, and strategic partnerships. In 2015, the Food Bank distributed 19 million meals to families, children, and seniors in need throughout Maine. For more information, call 207-782-3554 or visit www.feedingmaine.org.
