The Rangeley Ecumenical Food Pantry is open every Tuesday from 10:00 AM – 12:00 Noon. They offer foods of all sorts as well as some household and personal items to all. The Food Pantry is located in the Undercroft (lower level) of the Epsicopal Church at 2614 Main Street in Rangeley. It is supported by Rangeley’s Baptist, Catholic, Congregational and Episcopal churches, as well as the Log Church.

Their shelves are filled with dry goods and canned foods of all sorts, as well as meats, butter, breads, eggs and cheese. They also offer flour, sugar, rice, cereals, shelf-stable milk, juices, toilet paper, and there are things that get donated such as deodorant, shampoo, shave gel, and sometimes even pet foods. The volunteers are welcoming and all are served. The Food Pantry also delivers a variety of goods to Rangeley’s elderly housing facilities, which have been well received.

The Good Shepherd Food Bank supplies many of the dry goods to the Food Pantry, but all fresh items are purchased. They welcome donations of food and gratefully accept cash donations.

To make a direct donation of food, place non-perishable items in the basket outside the Food Pantry door, which is located just inside the side door of the Undercroft, at any time. To make a cash donation to support the Food Pantry’s important work in our community, please make a check out to The Ecumenical Food Pantry and mail it to PO Box 1028, Rangeley, ME 04970.

Leadership of the Ecumenical Food Pantry includes Barry Libby as the Chair, Robert Haddock as Treasurer and Sue Downes-Borko as Secretary.
