The Christine B Foundation is a Bangor-based service-providing nonprofit striving to support those facing cancer by extending access to healthy food, nutritional information, and community connections essential to their strength and comfort.
The Cancer Nutrition Assistance Program through CBF offers access to both a Fresh Produce Prescription program at our pick up locations in Brewer and Dover-Foxcroft and Home Delivery of medically tailored grocery packages for patients with cancer, recent survivors, and their families. This program supports over 1,000 Mainers every year across the state, providing over 600,000 equivalent meals since March of 2020.
Thanks to 100+ volunteers working in various parts of this effort, CBF remains committed to keep this service at no cost to recipients.
Grocery Package Assembly:
CBF is looking for volunteers to help portion bulk food items and assist in assembling our customized Nutrition Packages for home delivery to cancer patients and their families. Each package is built to satisfy the unique medical needs and preferences of the patient with cancer and their family. The Nutrition Packages are assembled and then distributed from the CBF Fulfillment Site in Bangor.
Volunteer Role:
CBF is looking for volunteers who can portion bulk food items and assist in assembling customized Nutrition Packages, maintain site cleanliness, and greet/aid our volunteer Home Delivery drivers when they arrive. This role is volunteer-facing (no direct interaction to patients) and requires reliable transportation.
Each Nutrition Package is custom assembled at our Bangor Fulfillment site to meet the dietary needs of each patient.
CBF seeks volunteers who can designate a day of the week/time of day to this role.
Days of the week and time of day can vary based on availability. The current times for assembly are :
Monday - 3:00 - 5:00 pm
