Hunger doesn't take a vacation.

We all love a Maine summer!  But the living isn't easy for everyone.  One in eight Mainers – including 1 in 5 children – don't get enough to eat. Kids are especially vulnerable during the summer months when they aren't getting school meals. You may have seen the recent article in the Press Herald  More than half of Mainers struggling to put food on their tables are not eligible for assistance from SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, a.k.a. food stamps) and food pantries help families with lean budgets put food on the table.. 

Thank You, Friends

Marjorie McAvoy, Scarborough Biddeford Savings branch manager, now a part of Maine Community Bank, stopped by the pantry today to present a check from a local business in honor of the bank's recent name change!  The timely gift will help us feed our neighbors. Pictured are Marjorie, Ellen Parenteau, and Bert Follansbee.

The Scarborough Kiwanis brought ham steaks, just in time for Easter. And also to the community of the Eight Corners School who recently held an awesome food drive for us!

Lions Club Diaper Drive for the Pantry

12/30/2022

 
The Scarborough Lions Club, in partnership with the Scarborough Food Pantry, is holding its first ever “Diaper Drive” to collect infant and toddler diapers as well as adult incontinence supplies during the month of January 2023.  

Prices for all sorts of basic necessities are still high, and many of our neighbors are having a difficult time making ends meet. Some, especially seniors and families with young babies, are making difficult choices at the checkout, and sometimes have to go without essentials.

The Lions Club and Food Pantry hope to count on the public’s support to help our neighbors through these difficult times. More info is available on the club’s FaceBook page at https://www.facebook.com/ScarboroughLions644/Donations can be dropped off at three locations in Scarborough during the month of January:
  • Saco & Biddeford Savings Institution, 41 Gorham Road, anytime through 1/31.
  • Scarborough Food Pantry, any Tuesday & Thursday afternoon, 1-4 p.m.
  • Scarborough Lions Club, Saturday January 14th, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Established in 1948, the Scarborough Lions Club mission is to serve our community, meet humanitarian needs, and encourage philanthropy to benefit civic and nonprofit organizations in our community.
