Good Shepherd Food Bank’s Food Mobile program allows it to expand its outreach to Maine’s neediest and most-underserved communities. Designed to be a low-barrier distribution, its food mobile visits communities with a demand for emergency and supplemental food that has outgrown the capacity of local food pantries.
This distribution has been made possible through the generosity of the Elizabeth Ann Leach Charitable Trust.
