Our Mission Statement

The CARE Food Pantry is an all-volunteer community compassionate outreach program dedicated to assisting those in financial need with food assistance to supplement their food shopping.

The pantry offers a designated list of food items each month to individuals or families in need. We gladly accept assistance from public and private aid agencies as well as from members of New Sharon and surrounding community local churches, friends, and businesses in the community. We work in accordance with federal, state and local guidelines for food pantries.
