Development Committee
We would like to extend an invitation to community members to join one of our Development Committees. We currently have groups in Central, Southern, and Northern Maine In an effort to overcome being regarded as one of "Maine's Best Kept Secrets", GSFB has formed Development Committees made up of community members who are interested in helping in the areas of Friendraising, Fundraising, Media Relations, and Public Awareness and Education. Come network with us so we can have a greater impact in your community! For more information, contact: Michelle Gosselin at 782-3554 x24 or mgosselin@gsfb.org
Volunteers are our Lifeblood
Without our volunteers, we could not accept truckloads of food which require huge amounts of manual labor. Volunteers contribute about $250,000 worth of labor annually, figured at minimum wage.
Our volunteers come from many different backgrounds and possess a wide range experience and skills, however... No special skills are required to make a valuable contribution. more >
A great number of volunteers are needed to do the day-to-day work.
Each day, approximately 100 volunteers help us do the following tasks:
- Presort truckloads of products coming into the Food Bank.
- Help to inspect each item according to standards of food safety.
- Sort foods into 130 different categories, to make products more usable by our agencies.
- Help to put labels on cans and other foods which must be labelled to fulfill labelling laws.
- Keep our warehouse clean and tidy.
It's all about people... caring, helping, working together!
