Food Insecurity in Maine

Food insecurity in Maine is an issue of impact in our community.  Hunger perpetuates poverty. If people’s basic needs for nutritious food are not met they are not able to achieve their full potential. Over 200,000 Mainers live with food insecurity, meaning they lack nutritious food to live a healthy lifestyle. 1 in 5 children in Maine live with food insecurity – and 1 in 3 children in Washington county live with hunger.

​Thank you for helping us end hunger in Maine. Below are some fundraising templates to help you with your fundraising efforts.

Hello NAME,

I wanted to let you know that I am participating in the Burpees for Turkeys this year at Wilcox Wellness & Fitness to support the Good Shepherd Food Bank! Every dollar that we raise will provide four meals for local people in need. I am super excited to be involved with this organization for the following reasons:
​
  • Food insecurity in Maine is a huge issue - 1 in 5 children in Maine live with food insecurity meaning they lack the nutritious food to live a healthy lifestyle. 

  • The Good Shepherd Food Bank does an incredible job to feed hungry Mainers. With just a $5 donation, they are able to provide 20 meals to local families in need.

  • The Good Shepherd Food Bank is committed not to just filling bellies but providing healthy options to those that they serve. A great example of this commitment is GSFB's Mainers feeding Mainers program where they work to support local farmers and get fresh and nutritionally balanced Maine-harvested food to Maine families in need.

$5 will buy you one burpee from yours truly and will feed 20 people. My goal this year is to do X burpees to raise $ to feed X people. You can donate online via my personal donation link: INSERT YOUR LINK HERE.

Thanks in advance for considering making a donation - every little bit helps.

Wish Me Luck!

Gobble. Gobble.
