WHY:
Good
Shepherd Food Bank's Food Mobile program allows us to expand our outreach to
Maine's neediest and most underserved communities. Designed to be a low-barrier
distribution, our 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 Elizabeth Ann Leach Charitable Trust.
For
more information about this Food Mobile distribution, please contact Sheepscot
Valley Health Center at (207) 549-7581.
