Volunteer Appreciation Celebration!

We’re so excited to celebrate you, our incredible volunteers, at this year’s Volunteer Appreciation Event on Saturday, July 12th, from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM, in the Jordan’s Furniture parking lot at The Maine Mall.
This special celebration takes place during our Cars & Coffee event and is all about recognizing you for the time, energy, and heart you give to the South Portland Food Cupboard.
What to Expect:
-
A VIP Tent just for volunteers—tables and chairs for relaxing
-
Music from Hot 104.7’s DJ Haylstorm.
-
Delicious eats from food trucks, including Maddie’s Açaí, Smokin’ Dad’s BBQ, and Giuseppe Roasters.
-
Each volunteer (and guests) will receive a complimentary meal ticket to use at the food truck of their choice.
-
On-site porta potty for your convenience.
Join us for good food, great music, and even better company as we show our appreciation for all you do.
Please RSVP by July 9th- this will allow food trucks to prepare!
Extra Help Needed on August 10th
We’re looking for a little extra help on August 10th! One of our regular Sunday morning food rescue drivers will be away, and we need an additional driver or helper to fill in for one or two Sundays during the month.
Looking ahead, we’re also hoping to grow our Sunday morning food rescue efforts. Currently, one team picks up from three different stores across the area. We’d love to build a secondary Sunday team to give our regular drivers a break!
If you’re available to help in August or are interested in joining a future Sunday food rescue team, please let us know!
The bulletin board is where we share important announcements, upcoming events, seasonal reminders, and other need-to-know updates for our volunteer team. It’s a great place to stay informed about what’s happening at the Food Cupboard and how you can stay involved. Be sure to check back often since we are always updating the page!
