We have called several times to have our Clynk bags picked up. Apparently Clynk is short handed and is having a difficult time just picking up the overrun clynk buildings. We are hoping to get a pick up this week...THANK YOU ALL for your bottles and cans! ... See MoreSee Less

No problem I love to share my bottles to help people out

Folks can also use your Clynk bags but drop them off at a Clynk location, like at Hannaford at Cooks Corner.

The locations are also having issues with getting stuff picked up the last 2 times I’ve been there to drop off my bottles they have all been stuffed full!

This is the USA where immigrants don't dare leave their houses to go to work. Short drivers & sorters. Not a job Americans want to or WILL do! And it's only going to get harder!

THANK YOU goes to Niel's Service Center in West Bath. The food bank van needed some work, and they knew we needed it done asap so we would not miss any of our weekly pick up. They got everything done AND at a VERY reasonable price! We try to do as much as we can locally...THANK YOU NEILS! ... See MoreSee Less

We have purchased bottled water for our clients tomorrow, Thursday. We know it will be busy and the line may be longer than usual. As promised, the shopping list is longer than normal and we are trying to be able to provide MORE in the outside tent. We will give out everything on the list till we run out. We will be open from 12-2 for the outside tent and boxes, and 12-1:30 for meals (cold chicken pasta salad). PLEASE bring your patience and understanding. ... See MoreSee Less
