Bar Harbor Food Pantry
36 Mount Desert Street (located behind the YWCA)
Swing by the pantry for Fresh Food Fridays, the Pantry’s outdoor market offering seasonal fruits & vegetables.
All are welcome.
*Please note that Fresh Food Friday is also a way to reduce food waste by moving perishable food out of the pantry at the end of each week. As such, distribution is on a first-come, first-serve basis and options decrease as the morning progresses*

FAQs
Who can become a client?
Anyone who resides in Hancock County, Maine can become a client. Please note, you do not need to have established residency, meaning that we welcome seasonal workers, college students, and other short-term residents to become clients.
What do you have in stock?
The pantry features six sections: produce; dairy and prepared foods; bakery; frozen; packaged dry goods; bulk repackaged dry goods. Please note that sections available vary by program, for example Fresh Food Friday is a distribution of our perishable goods.
How can I become a client?
To become a client, just show up or place your order. When you do this for the first time we will ask for a series of personal information, like your name, address, and contact information. We do not ask for any documentation or other proof. Providing this information is optional and confidential; we will never share your personal information without your explicit consent. That being said, we encourage you to share this information if you feel comfortable. When you share your information you help us understand and meet the needs of the community.
How can I give back to the pantry?
At the pantry we understand that everyone goes through difficult times. We strive to support our community through hard times by lending an ear, providing a space to connect, and, of course, distributing food. It’s our pleasure to do this work, and we never expect anything in return. At the same time, many of our clients often ask how they can give back. So, if this is your question, here are a few ideas.
Spread the word - If you know someone who could benefit from connecting with us, let them know.
Share your story - Let us know how you’ve been impacted by our work or share what brought you to the pantry. When you share what impacted you, you help us communicate the power of our work. Share Your Story
