The New Gloucester Food Pantry serves an important mission in our community: providing food to our neighbors who may otherwise go hungry. We are fortunate to have our freezer full and most of our shelves well-stocked thanks to generous community donations and the Good Shepherd Food Bank in Auburn. However, we have several missing items and are asking the community to help fill those voids. Emily, at the New Gloucester library has graciously agreed to be the drop-off location.
Please, if you can, pick up an extra jar, can, box or bag of the following items and drop them off at the library in support of the food pantry.
With the price of heating oil, prescription drugs and groceries, many in our community are making decisions about eating, heating their home, or taking their medications. Thank you for helping feed our neighbors who may otherwise go hungry.
