AUBURN – During its winter membership drive, Maine Public Broadcasting Network will partner with Maine Community Foundation donors to raise hunger awareness and help Good Shepherd Food Bank distribute crucial food assistance throughout Maine.

For every donation made to MPBN during the Nov. 26-Dec. 11 television membership drive, MaineCF donors will, in turn, donate enough money to Good Shepherd Food Bank to feed a family of four for about 12 days.

MPBN has partnered with the MaineCF and GSFB in the past during radio pledge drives, which not only raised money for the public broadcaster but also raised the public’s awareness of food insecurity.

“This is a partnership between three Maine organizations that are working together to help Mainers in need,” said Rick Small, GSFB president and CEO.

Good Shepherd Food Bank provides more than 10 million meals annually through a network of more than 600 partner agencies. Partner agencies include food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, senior centers and youth programs.
