​Buxton Community Cupboard
The Buxton Community Cupboard was started many years ago by, and was located in, the Buxton Centre Baptist Church. It moved a couple times, and is now located in the little white house behind the parsonage of that church on the corner of Groveville and Long Plains Rd. It is for Buxton residents only and we serve 80-150 residents per month depending on time of year. We used to get a lot of food from food rescue and distribution centers but that has dramatically changed. We now rely on donations of food from the good citizens of Buxton, Food Drives at businesses and schools and cash which we prudently spend shopping sales. Many of the original people who started the Cupboard have passed away or retired. We are always looking for new people to help. Contact us if you would like to help volunteer! Hours of Operation: Friday mornings 9:30 am to 10:30 am. If you would like more information about their services or would like to volunteer please call (207) 929-6764 and ask for Betty.
