Today our director delivered several boxes of food and she returned renewed and Thankful. The family was so grateful and she was reminded there are MANY good hardworking people JUST trying to get by, AND CAN'T. This is going to be a long cold winter. Please do what you can to help your friends and neighbors. We are increasing our delivery program. If you would be willing to deliver food to people that do not have cars and can not get to the food bank, email our director at kimfgates@gmail.com. THANK YOU for helping us help so many. ...

We are updating our food delivery list. If you are interested in delivering food boxes thru February, message our director, Kimberly Gates, kimfgates@gmail.com. We will be reaching out to everyone presently on our list...just to make sure you want to continue. It is hard for so many of our families to get out now that the weather is turning cold. How does it work? A family would call us, let us know what they need and their address. We do ask that they have already filled out the appropriate paperwork. We would build the box of food...reach out to you and give you an address. Keeping you safe IS our concern. We ask that you not enter the home, you must leave the food outside the door. We are not allowed to deliver perishable foods. You would need a reliable vehicle and we would NEVER ask you to drive in bad weather. Generally...deliveries will be Tuesday 12-5 and Thursdays 12-2. ... See MoreSee Less

We always get requests for people wanting to volunteer over the holidays. This would be the perfect way!

With the Holidays fast approaching, I felt this was a good time to let you know what is available if you live in Bath, W. Bath, Woolwich, Phippsburg, Arrowsic and Georgetown. If you do not live in this catch area, message me, let me know where you live and I will send you the information to a kit near you. If you are a family of 2 or more, we will be offering Thanksgiving kits. You will have to sign up in person for these kits, no phone or social media reservations will be accepted. The goal is to have 175-200 kits available. Sign up will begin Tuesday November 10th 12-1:30 and 4-6. We will offer these until November 19th. Distribution will be November 20th 12-2pm. We will be closed November 26th and December 24th. We worry about being closed for too long, so we will be open Wednesday November 25th and December 23rd from 12-1:30. This will be the outside tent only, no boxes.
If you are an individual, the
Phippsburg Sportsmen's Association is again offering a FREE Thanksgiving meal. If you can't get to the event, they will deliver a meal to you...or pick you up so you can enjoy the company of others, We are SO GRATEFUL to this organization for taking on such a huge undertaking. They have done an amazing job year after year!
If you have any questions, feel free to email me at kimfgates@gmail.com. ... See MoreSee Less
