Good Shepherd Food Bank Announces 2021 Corporate Partners for a Hunger-Free Maine

Corporate Partners for a Hunger-Free Maine is a group of socially responsible corporations and their corporate foundations that support Good Shepherd Food Bank in providing food to people facing food insecurity across Maine through its statewide partner agency network of food pantries, meal sites, shelters, schools, health centers and other community organizations.
