Overview
Mission
The Boothbay Region Food Pantry exists to prevent the hunger of persons located in the Boothbay Region of Maine. All clients are treated with dignitiy, respect and courtesy, and are allowed a choice in what food will best help them. We exist to provide services to those who are hungry or in need without charging any fee. We acquire food and funds from individual donors, food drives, weekly supermarket food donations and food purchases to accomplish these goals.
