Volunteer

There are a number of volunteer opportunities with Food AND Medicine throughout the year, from food distribution events to making calls to gardening support.

If you're in the Bangor region and you'd like to get involved, please send an email to [email protected]. Let us know which of our programs sounds interesting to you.

Become a Member or Renew Your Membership

Food AND Medicine is a member-based organization. Members are empowered to help fulfill the vision of the organization and to take part in programs and committees, and vote in annual board elections. Members are as involved as they want to be; some members give lots of their time to our events and programs, and others just write a check and watch from the sidelines, so don't let your availability hold you back from standing with us.

Most importantly, membership is the best way to say that you believe in our mission and want the work we do to continue. The more members we have, the more power we can have when we stand together. We always welcome members with no financial contribution so that no one is excluded from FAM membership.

Sponsor a Solidarity Harvest Meal

Each Solidarity Harvest basket costs about $45 to fill and includes produce purchased from Maine farms and enough food for 8-10 people. With over 100 partner groups, we distribute at least 1,650 baskets each Thanksgiving which contain about 30 pounds of food, not counting the turkey! Turkeys are donated, everything else is purchased through fundraisers and donations.

Make a Donation to Support FAM's Work

Food AND Medicine depends on the generosity of members, allies, labor unions, community organizations, farmers and businesses who believe in the mission Food AND Medicine to organize, educate, and empower workers and our communities in the fight for economic and social justice. Donations via this link are NOT considered membership.
