Did you know Good Shepherd Food Bank has two distribution center locations? In addition to our flagship location in Auburn, the Food Bank also has a location in Hampden. Volunteer opportunities at the Hampden Distribution Center consists primarily of packing food boxes for two programs, the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) and the Community Health & Hunger Program (CHHP).
The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) works to improve the health of low-income people at least 60 years of age by supplementing their diets with nutritious USDA commodity foods. The Community Health & Hunger Program (CHHP) provides healthcare partners with pre-packed emergency food bags for direct and immediate distribution to those who identify as food insecure. We may also ask our volunteers to help with occasional/seasonal produce inspection.
Our Hampden location welcomes volunteers Monday-Thursday: 8am-4pm and Friday: 8am-12pm. There is no minimum time commitment required for volunteering. For more information please email Gina Bingham, Volunteer Engagement Coordinator, at gbingham@gsfb.org or call at (207) 344-1253. The Hampden distribution center is located at 11 Penobscot Meadow Drive Hampden, ME 04444
