Today's the Day! Help us raise $6,000! $30 for every 5-minute in-the-park test ride donated by Ford Drive 4UR Community — Quirk Ford of Augusta. Come on down...one ride provides 90 meals to those in need!

HELP US RAISE $6,000!

On Saturday, September 12, Quirk Ford of Augusta will host Ford Drive 4 UR Community from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. at their Augusta facility.

FOR EVERY TEST RIDE, FORD WILL DONATE $30 to the AFB, UP TO $6,000!

That means we need 200 drivers for a 5-10 test-drive right on their lot - NO SALES PRESSURE, NO PURCHASE REQUIRED.

You can preregister for the event at https://bit.ly/4x9MZGL - but no need to. Just show up on Saturday the 12th between 9-4.

Last week, KV Federal Credit Union stopped by to present Augusta Food Bank staff and volunteers with a $5,000 check in support of our efforts to end hunger in our community.

The gift was part of Maine Credit Union League's Campaign to End Hunger; for the 4th consecutive year, KVFCU's employees voted the AFB to be one of the recipient of these funds.

What does $5,000 mean? It means that this gift alone will put more than 15,000 meals on the tables of those less fortunate who find themselves on the wrong side of hunger.

We are truly grateful to all of the businesses, individuals, and foundations that invest in us for the work we do. Thank you KVFCU, for your generous and continued support!

Congratulations - and THANK YOU - to Courtney Yeager - for the past ten years that she has led the United Way of Kennebec Valley.

For several years, the UWKV has been a major supporter of the AFB, and we are grateful for Courtney's leadership, collective approach, and commitment to the Kennebec Valley region.

Courtney leaves behind an incredible legacy, and we wish her continued success as she pursues her new venture! Pictured with Courtney at last night's celebration honoring her are (L-R) AFB's Bob Moore, CEO, Sandra Lind, volunteer, and Eric Lind, Board member.

Congrats Al Cloutier - Maine Baseball HOF!

More than 150(!) of Al Cloutier's family members, friends, and fellow AFB staff & volunteers were on hand today at Hadlock Field to honor Al and 9 others before the Portland Seadogs game vs. the Somerset Patriots, for his induction into this year's Maine Baseball Hall of Fame class.

Al, AFB's Warehouse Manager for the past six years, will be formally inducted, along with the others, into the Hall on Sunday, September 27, at 2:00 PM at Hannaford Hall on the University of Southern Maine campus in Portland.

CONGRATS, AL! We've always known you were a Hall-of-Famer at the AFB, and it's great to see you recognized for the impact and career you've had on baseball in Augusta and the state of Maine.

The AFB is fortunate to have the support of hundreds of supporters - individuals, foundations, and businesses like Kennebec Savings Bank.

KSB has been there since our beginning. Besides being the initial funder and major supporter of our AFB Marketplace (grocery store...without a cash register), each year their summer interns roll up their sleeves and provide a "Deep Cleaning" from top to bottom - both inside and outside of our facility.

Thank you, KSB, for all that you do to make our community better, and for what you do for the AFB. We are truly grateful.

Congrats to Al Cloutier for receiving the 2026 Larry LaBrie Award from the Maine Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (Maine IAAA) and the Maine Principals' Association (MPA) Thursday evening (5/21) in a ceremony held at Jeff's Catering in Brewer.

Al, who became AFB's Warehouse Manager in 2020 after a 40-year career with Central Maine Power, has dedicated more than 50 years to area youth in the Augusta and central Maine area as a baseball coach, basketball official, and his long association in leadership roles with CARA: (Capital Area Recreation Association) and Augusta Babe Ruth.

"This award recognizes Al's decades of lasting contributions to sports in the state, particularly in Augusta. The Larry LaBrie Award recognizes someone for their contributions to the (MPA's Interscholastic Division. Al has been a fixture in Augusta baseball for over 50 years as a player, Cony High School baseball coach, American Legion coach, and Babe Ruth League director."

Those attending the ceremony included members of Al's family (including his mother, Terry on his left, and his sister Lina on his right), along with good friends Steve Brooks, Mike Bechard, and Harry Lanphear.

Congratulations again, Al. Thousands of youth athletes have benefited from your lifetime of selfless dedication to them. We thank you!

Wow - This year's Stamp Out Hunger - another huge success!

USPS annual food drive netted the AFB more than 4,500 lbs. (!) of shelf-stable, non-perishable food items. A huge debt of gratitude to the USPS carriers for their efforts, and to Augusta and Manchester residents who provided thousands of items to fill our shelves.

Thanks also to Connected Credit Union's Wendy Brochu and Kerri Abbott, who joined with AFB volunteers and staff - rolling up their sleeves to sort and stock items.

Truly a community-wide effort that will help put food on the tables for so many - THANK YOU!
