South Portland Food Cupboard

Rain or shine, 100-degree days, subzero temperatures, snowstorms, and everything in between, hunger doesn’t take a day off, and neither do our volunteers. ☔️❄️

No matter the weather, you’ll find them showing up to ensure their neighbors are fed.

On days like today, we’re reminded (a little extra) on just how much we appreciate them.

Join our team! We're hiring. More info below:
