Falmouth Food Pantry: COVID-19 support
UPDATE - The Pantry is so grateful for all of your support! We hit our initial goal of $2,500, but as time wears on, it is becoming more apparent that the need will continue to grow and the hurdles will continue to increase as this crisis evolves. We have increased our goal to reflect this. Thank you for sharing this campaign!
A number of people have asked how they can help out their neighbors during this unprecedented time. One option is by supporting the Falmouth Food Pantry. The Pantry provides over 500 families and individuals in the Greater Portland area with nutritious food, as well as other types of support. The Pantry is now closed to the public due to the COVID-19 crisis, and instead has started making home deliveries to families and individuals in need. Due to the changes and restrictions currently in place, the Pantry is not able to accept donated fruits, vegetables and meat from the food store chains. Instead they will need to buy these items to provide to their clients. They also will see a reduction in donated items now that the Pantry is closed to the public. This campaign will help the Pantry keep up with the increased expenses and needs during this time.
There are so many implications of COVID-19 and the necessary shut down of most of our day to day interactions. Please take care of yourself, your family and any community members you can.
Stay well.
