Our Food Pantry is located in our Parish House and is there to ensure that no one on the island goes hungry. We have no income tests or background checks. If you need food we are happy to provide. The food pantry is also there to assist with all kinds of needs, whether you are looking to make a meal for someone coming home from the hospital or to provide a little extra support when grocery shopping is difficult.

Right now with the spread of COVID-19 and the encouragement from the town to stay on island and limit trips to the mainland, we are happy to help supplement your grocery needs, whether you are:

• trying to avoid going to town for a few needed items
• Waiting for a delayed shipment
• Or just feel like having soup for lunch and you just ran out.

We're happy to be partnering with the Chebeague Island School's kitchen this week to help provide for families!

We will be open on Wednesday from 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM. You can always arrange for pick up and delivery at other times when needed.

1. If possible email us a list of items and we will package them and bring them outside for you to pick up.  jahoward2@gmail.com
