At Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program (MCHPP) we are able to provide all families in our community with access to healthy food. Our Food Pantry is open on Tuesday 12:00pm-6:00pm, Wednesday 12:00pm-3:00pm, Friday 12:00pm-3:00pm, and Saturday 1:00pm-4:00pm. Our community members are able to walk through our grocery-store style pantry and pick from fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy, bakery items, dry goods, pre-cooked meals, and more!
Currently, the need for this service continues to grow in our community and we could also use more volunteer support assisting in the Food Pantry by; organizing incoming food donations, keeping the shelves stocked, packing to-go orders, managing the meat counter, greeting community members as they walk through our doors, and more!
