Schoodic Food Pantry Third Annual Chinese Auction to Stock the Shelves
Saturday, July 18, 2026, 0800 - 1300
The Third Annual Schoodic Food Pantry Chinese Auction will be held on Saturday, July 18th, 2026 from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Gouldsboro Recreation Center, 679 Pond Road, Gouldsboro. As in past years, the event will auction a plethora of donated goods, services, artwork, and gift certificates. There will be a 50/50 raffle and a delicious, decadent dessert bar with all of your favorites donated by Corea Catering and other supporters of the pantry. Last year, we raised over $26,000 that went directly back into our community by stocking the shelves at the pantry. This year, there are over 400 donations worth 40K in value!

Last year, we raised over $26,000 that went directly back into our community by stocking the shelves at the pantry.
There are no income guidelines, and no one is ever turned away with the pantry donating to those in need hailing from towns from both Washington and Hancock counties ranging from Blue Hill to Machias - all out of the former, tiny D.O.T. office along Route 1 in Gouldsboro.
Now, more than in past years, your donations are critical to help stock the shelves at the pantry. Families, individuals, veterans, children, and homeless in our community are hungry, and many do not know where their next meal is coming from. Last year, we served 450+ families. Today, we serve 680+ families with 5-10 new families arriving at our door each week. The escalation in food insecurity is due to a host of factors resulting from sky high food and fuel prices, high housing costs, as well as downward trends in seasonal employment in forestry, agriculture, and fishing - the economic mainstay of our area.
Thank you in advance for your support! All donations are tax deductible.
