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 Helen and
George Ladd Charitable Corp.
For more information, please
contact Belgrade Regional Health Center at (207) 495-3323.
