The Machias Area Food Pantry, founded in 1986 by the late Helen Vose, operated out of Centre Street's vestry for the next thirty-seven years. In 2023, thanks to a bevy of generous donors, the operation moved to a brand new building, where it now operates independently with its own Board of Directors, though it remains closely affiliated with Centre Street.

The MAFP serves Bucks Harbor, Cutler, East Machias, Jonesboro, Machias, Machiasport, Marshfield, Northfield, Roque Bluffs, Wesley, and Whitneyville. Co-directors Ken Warner and Nancy Lewis oversee the week-to-week operation with help from a small army of dedicated volunteers.

Open Mondays 1:00–6:00 and Wednesdays 9:30–1:30.
