Pantry Surplus Feeds School Kids

3/10/2022

 
It's oh so sweet when friends help each other! The Scarborough Food Pantry had too much peanut butter this week, plus extra soup and mac'n'cheese. Project GRACE took dozens of boxes, jars and cans to school nutrition's 'backpacks' program feeding families every week. Plus, thanks to a gift from Saco Biddeford Savings, Project GRACE added 80+ squeezable grape & strawberry jelly & jams. Sweet!

You can also donate to sponsor a meal kit.

Coronavirus / COVID-19 Update  3/15/2020

We are carefully monitoring the COVID-19 situation and following the recommendations of experts at local, state and federal levels on the best course of action.
For the health of our visitors and volunteers, we are making temporary changes to how we operate:
  • All visitors will be asked to remain in the parking lot.
  • Only volunteers will be allowed in the pantry until further notice.
  • Food will be delivered curbside in grocery bags that have already been packed and prepared. Unfortunately, there will be no option to choose specific items.
  • New visitors will be asked to provide the minimum information needed; a more complete intake may be done by phone or at a later date as needed.
At present we have plenty of food, but as always we do rely on donations to keep our cupboards full. The best way you can help us is to make a monetary donation so we can get the specific items we need. If you do have nonperishable food to donate, before you stop by, please let us know and make an appointment in advance. Donors must also remain outside the pantry for the present time.
