A Facebook post from the Bowdoinham Food Pantry located in Bowdoinham, ME: “❤️ We've accidentally created the nicest problem in town. ❤️ When we started the Sharing Table at the library, we wondered if people would bring food to share. Well, Bowdoinham...you have absolutely crushed that part. Because of course you did. This has always been a town where neighbors look out for one another, and your generosity has been incredible. The Sharing Table has been filled with donations from people who simply want to help. Here's the problem: not enough people are taking from it. So, if you need to hear it, this is your official permission slip. You do not have to leave something in order to take something. The Sharing Table isn't a trade. It's not "take one, leave one." It's simply neighbors helping neighbors. Maybe this week you could use a little extra. Or maybe you're walking by, spot a couple of fresh tomatoes, and think, "Those would be perfect for dinner tonight." Great! Take them.” -continued in next picture The second part of the Facebook post from the Bowdoinham Food Pantry: “If you see something you'd enjoy or that would make your week a little easier, please take it. No donation is required. No explanation is needed. Your neighbors put it there hoping someone would enjoy it. Giving and receiving aren't opposite acts—they're two halves of the same act of community. So the next time you stop by the library, don't just look at the Sharing Table. Help it do what it was created to do! Help yourself and remember — the sharing table is always open 24/7! #BowdoinhamFoodPantry #BowdoinhamSharingTable #BowdoinhamMaine #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors #CommunityKindness #TakeWhatYouNeed” There are pictures at the bottom, one showing a hand drawn sign pointing towards the Sharing Table and the other is a picture of the Sharing Table itself located on the porch of the Bowdoinham Library.
