Food Programs

COS is certified by Good Shepherd Food Bank which partners with Feeding America. This association enables us to purchase food at discounted costs and obtain perishable food from Hannaford Supermarket. COS serves the hungry in the Kennebunks in many ways. COS “needs based” food programs include the Food Pantry, Mobile Food Pantry, and our Holiday Food Baskets.
