Why volunteer to help end hunger?
When you volunteer at Good Shepherd Food Bank, you help us:
- Distribute nearly 29 million pounds of food to people struggling with hunger in all of Maine’s 16 counties
- Provide assistance to the 1 in 5 children and 1 in 7 Mainers facing food insecurity
Because hunger impacts:
- A child’s ability to learn and focus in school
- A family’s health; as those who are food insecure are more likely to be hospitalized or experience health crises
- A person’s physical and emotional preparedness for the workforce
