Our Mission
Health, Hope, and Opportunity for Western Knox County
Come Spring Food Pantry is a 100% volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) community food pantry located in Union, ME. We provide assistance to those suffering from food insecurity, ensuring access to fresh, nutritious meals for individuals and families in our community.
Through our partnership with Knox County Gleaners, we help rescue surplus farm produce and distribute it to those who need it most. Together, we’re feeding our neighbors with dignity, while promoting health, opportunity, and hope.

+ Knox County Gleaners
Since 1991, Come Spring Food Pantry has grown in size, and impact from a school service project to a nonprofit serving hundreds. We strive to make our community a healthier, more resilient place through food assistance.
In 2024 we acquired Knox County Gleaners, an initiative to help decrease farm waste and increase food security through harvesting surplus crops.
Together, we provide Knox County residents with both pantry staples and farm-fresh produce for a healthier, more food-secure community.
