Alleviate Hunger

Every day The Salvation Army helps cure hunger by providing nutritious meals to neighbors in need.

Dorothy Day Soup Kitchen

In the 1970s, representatives from many churches decided that there was need to establish a Dorothy Day Soup Kitchen. For years meals were prepared and served at St. John's on York Street in Bangor. Due to needed repairs to the church, an alternative site was needed for the soup kitchen. The Salvation Army volunteered their facility.

In the 1980s, the Bangor Corps started offering hot meals at their Dorothy Day Soup Kitchen. Noon meals were served 6 days a week. Food continues to be prepared and served by dedicated volunteers from various churches and service groups.

Today, Dorothy Day Soup Kitchen feeds on average 100 hot meals each day Monday through Friday. Many times this is the only hot meal the patrons of our Soup Kitchen will have each day. We are so grateful to our many wonderful volunteers who prepare and serve each meal every day.

If you or your group would like to volunteer at The Salvation Army's Soup Kitchen, please call our office at 207-941-2990 for more information.

Food Pantry

The Salvation Army in Bangor offers a food pantry to the community. Because of the tough economic times, we are responding to an increased number of requests for services as people struggle to meet obligations like paying rent while also keeping food on the table for their families. We desire to serve the community as best we can. By offering food, we are meeting one of the most basic needs for those needing a little help to get by.

The pantry is available to those in need Monday-Friday from 9am-1pm.

65 S Park St, Bangor, ME 04401

Clients need to live within our service area of Greater Bangor communities which include Bangor, Brewer, Exeter, Glendburn, Hermon, Kenduskeag, Levant, Orrington, Veazie.

For questions please contact Diana Horton: Diana.Horton@use.salvationarmy.org or by phone at 941-2990.

The food pantry is another opportunity for our volunteers to get involved with us. We pack all of our food and organize the pantry every Friday. If you would like to be involved, give us a call or send an email, and we would be happy to get you or your group going.
