Good Shepherd Food Bank of Maine

2020 Goals

  • Distributing 25 million meals, 78% of which are categorized as nutritious “foods to encourage.”
  • Opening a second distribution center in Hampden and completing our Food For All capital campaign.

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 8.5 million meals are needed – beyond the 25 million annually provided by the food bank and its partners.
