I am a volunteer at Project Feed, an emergency food pantry completely staffed by volunteers. The pantry, located at Woodfords Congregational UCC Church in Portland, has been serving clients since 1975. We distribute 1-2 tons of food each month.
Due to extensive planned renovation at Woodfords Church, Project Feed needs to relocate on a temporary basis at the end of September. The pantry currently has five refrigerator/freezers, three storage closets plus a back room storage area, a stocked room where clients select food, a waiting area, a handicap-accessible elevator and some available parking.
Despite major networking, emailing, telephoning, etc. seeking a temporary location, the search has not been successful. We are urgently requesting that anyone who knows of a possible temporary location to call Project Feed at 207-761-3920 (at least until the end of September) or email at askprojectfeed@gmail.com. Thank you.

Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
