BANGOR, Maine In these challenging times for so many people, buying food is not as simple as it once was, and many food pantries are seeing more hungry Mainers.
The Hammond Street Congregational Church in Bangor has run for 46 years the Ecumenical Food Cupboard. Back in the day, they used a come-in-and-shop food pantry for people to choose what they needed, but due to the ongoing pandemic, the cupboard is providing healthy hefty boxes of food to any Mainer in need. Now, boxes of food are passed through a window every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

Thank you also to Lloyds Bank for hosting the event. The activity bags, which have been a theme throughout the restrictions, have all been going to Seaton Memory Cafe members. The activity bags have played a huge part in keeping in contact and supporting members and carers throughout the pandemic.
