These boxes are filled with more than food — they’re filled with community support.

Thank you to everyone who makes this work possible, and to the City of Biddeford for investing in our mission through the municipal services budget. We’re grateful to serve our neighbors every week.

In our 2024-2025 fiscal year, we distributed more than a half a million lbs of food to 7,800 individuals in our community, more than 30% of whom were children.

Our 2025-2026 fiscal year wraps up at the end of May. It is hard to share numbers like this when we expect them to increase year over year. That means that more people in our community are facing food insecurity.

Thanks to the ongoing support of community members like you - as donors and volunteers - we were able to process this incredible volume of requests going to those that most need it, and are continuing to meet the growing need.

We can't do this work without building community. Each time you come to the pantry, you are greeted by one of our intake volunteers. You might recognize the smiling face of Karen who will greet you at check-in, and make sure you go home with the food that you need. Feeding 400 families each week, we are open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 9am-11am at 162 Elm Street in Biddeford. We do not discriminate. No proof of income or residency required.

We are one of many great social services organizations in Biddeford requesting funds from the City's Municipal Service Budget this Thursday March 19 at 6PM. Pantry Director Don Bisson will be presenting on the impact our pantry has on our community. If you support our work, consider letting your City Councilor know you want this funding to be approved.

The Fiscal Year 2027 Budget process began on March 10, 2026, when the City Manager presented the City budget overview to the Budget Committee.
