Waldoboro Food Pantry

To eliminate food insecurity in the towns of Waldoboro, Bremen and Nobleboro, Maine

Goal One: Secure enough food to meet the expanding needs of our growing clientele

Goal Two: Ensure adequate facilities to acquire, store, and distribute food to members of our community in need

Goal Three: Actively seek additional grants and funding to establish a permanent home for the Waldoboro Food Pantry

Our board members attend/view presentations held by our local Food Bank, Non-profit advocacy groups, as well as network with community leaders and other local food pantries to share ideas and strategies to improve our operation and meet the growing needs of the community we serve.

When the Covid-19 pandemic hit our community, we were forced to close our doors temporarily, until the town of Waldoboro offered to help us distribute food out of the town office for several months. In the meantime, we were offered a new facility that would enable us to distribute food via drive-thru. While the town hosted our food distribution, we readied our new facilities by moving our inventory, as well as our food storage systems to the new location. We also invested in a drive-thru communication system that would allow us to sign in clients from their car, instead of face-to-face.
