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.
