2023 Goals
Good Shepherd Food Bank has set a bold goal: By 2025, all food insecure Mainers will have access to the nutritious food they need to thrive, when and where they need it. This means an additional 8.4 million meals are needed – beyond the 31.6 million provided by the food bank and its partners in FY21.
