PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Good Shepherd Food Bank recognizes that poverty and food insecurity disproportionately impact communities of color and is committed to leveraging its power as the largest hunger-relief organization in the state to redistribute resources directly to organizations and coalitions committed to meeting the needs of immigrants, refugees, Indigenous communities, and communities of color.

The purpose of the Community Redistribution Fund is to support organizations’ efforts to address the disproportionate impact of food insecurity and increase access to culturally relevant foods to communities of color, immigrant, and refugee communities in Maine. This grant is intended for organizations led by and working primarily with communities of color, immigrant, and refugee communities.
