Fish River Rural Health Food Pantry

Fish River Rural Health operates a free food pantry in Eagle Lake, Maine, as part of its Federally Qualified Health Center services. The pantry works to address food insecurity among patients in the St. John Valley, providing nutritious shelf-stable and seasonal food options through the clinic's RN Care Team. Funding for the no-cost service comes from employee payroll contributions, community donations, and partnerships with local farmers and the Good Shepherd Food Bank, with the organization annually distributing more than 40,000 pounds of food to those in need.
