St. Elizabeth's Essentials Pantry
Describe your company and organization and target audience
We operate a non-food Essentials Pantry which serves an average of 150 neighbors in need every Tuesday morning in an urban setting. About 85% of those we serve came from Africa, the Middle East, Central and South America, ie. multicultural, diverse. The products we distribute are not covered by food stamps (SNAP) such as toilet paper, bars of soap, personal care products including infant diapers, bedding, kitchen items, and dental products. Everyone is greeted with a smile and warm welcome. We strive to be hopeful, supportive and respectful of everyone. Lifting people up is important to us. We support people as they transition to life in the US. The Pantry is sponsored by the Episcopal Diocese of Maine but all are welcome and respected. Over 40 volunteers help out regularly.
