Maine Mental Health Connections – Food Pantry & Soup Kitchen

food_admin — Wed, 14 May 2025 15:18:52 +0000

We began our Together Place Food Pantry back in the 80â€™s when we first opened our doors with the intention of providing as many resources to those we serve as we could. We have since then continued to grow both our Soup Kitchen and Food Pantry while seeking out as many resources as we could find, from becoming an established USDA Food Pantry to obtaining membership at Good Shepherd Food Bank, which allowed us to purchase many products there at greatly reduced prices from that of a retail supermarket. We have picked up towns and cities that we serve over the past few years as food banks have closed down due to lack of resources and funding. We now serve Bangor, Brewer, Eddington, Hermon, Glenburn and Veazie. We do receive USDA commodities and limited FEMA funding, but we are always needing additional resources to fund the consistently growing needs from those in the community we serve. This huge need is due to many unfortunate circumstance that people have had to deal with in their lives, from losing their employment to just not making enough money to feed their family and pay that light bill. We are a “choice pantry” offering a choice moving on through each food category that we are able to offer so that the individual nutritional needs of the client are matched best from the selection available. A food pantry participant can expect staple items like cereal, soup, juice, vegetables, fruit, pasta, sauce, and prepared meals in a can such as stew or chili. In addition, we provide milk, eggs, meat, fresh produce, and bread as supplies lasts and funding is available. There are giving guidelines based on the size of the household and USDA income guideline Bread, produce and pastry arranged in an open-market style every Wednesday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Soup Kitchen: Our Soup Kitchen is open every Monday and Friday from 11:30 â€“ 1:00. We prepare all meals fresh and home made and work with the resources we have on hand to provide a filling delicious hot meal always consisting of as many things on the food pyramid as we can obtain. Many hours go into food prep and cooking and cleaning to make these meals happen. Both the food Pantry and the Soup Kitchen would not exist if not for the assistance of consistent volunteers.

Soup Kitchen – We serve the working poor or those on a fixed income â€“ folks who have a job at the low end of the ladder, working hard to make ends meet for themselves and their families. Since 1991, Manna’s Soup Kitchen has been open to anyone and everyone that finds themselves in need of a hot meal and a safe place to enjoy it. We have no requirements for those joining the evening meal.Food_final Homeless individuals and families, the working poor, those on a fixed income, or anyone who simply needs a place to sit and “break bread” are welcome. The meal goes beyond soup. The idea is to help people nourish their bodies and their souls by making some connections with others and with God. Often we can identify those who need a specific service and link them to that service. Manna Ministries helps our struggling neighbors back to their feet. Our services are designed to revitalize self-sufficiency and independence so our guests can get their lives back on track. Staff and caring volunteers offer nourishing meals Monday through Friday at 4:30 PM. Food Pantry – A meal isn’t always what a family needs. Some folks need food to keep their family going through the tough times. We can provide people with bags of nourishing groceries for them to prepare at home. Our food distribution takes place three times a week and we ask individuals to partake of this only once a week. We are aware that we need to be good stewards of the resources provided to us, and that means working to meet the needs of as many as we can with the resources we have.
