AUGUSTA (AP) — Gov. Paul LePage says that Maine residents have donated nearly 2,000 pounds of food in the annual food drive held at the governor’s home.

The food is being donated to the Good Shepherd Food Bank. The governor’s office says the food bank will decide which communities are the most in need when distributing the food.

The food bank says the donations will help it reach its goal of providing highquality food items to 36,000 Maine residents every week.
