Supporting Our Neighbors During This Time
South Portland Food Cupboard is here to support our neighbors with compassion, dignity, and respect. During a time of increased ICE activity in our community, we want to make sure everyone can safely access food. If you do not feel safe or able to come in person, you may ask a trusted friend, family member, or neighbor to pick up food for you as a proxy. This option is available to both current and new recipients. We invite you to read our full community statement below for more information about food access, proxy pickups, and the steps we are taking to prioritize safety and care for all.
"Feeding Neighbors in Need."
What We Do
The South Portland Food Cupboard is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer-based food pantry dedicated to alleviating hunger. The cupboard organizes volunteers who are committed to the acquisition and distribution of food to hungry people throughout South Portland, Portland, Cape Elizabeth, Scarborough, and surrounding communities in Cumberland and York counties.
The pantry is open on Thursdays from 8:30 am to 11:00 am, Tuesdays from 9:45 am to 11:30 am, and the first Wednesday of every month from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm to accommodate those who work during the day.
