Bruce Bottiglierie, co-founder of Winslow Community cupboard resigns

Bruce Bottiglierie, who co-founded Winslow Community Cupboard food pantry in early 2020 and who has directed its service and growth ever since, has announced his resignation as Operations Manager, effective August 6, 2025.

In an email sent to local Winslow Community Cupboard volunteers and to staff members at Good Shepherd Food Bank and MaineGeneral Health, Mr. Bottiglierie wrote: “I’m stepping down due to irreconcilable differences [regarding] the future of the pantry …. It’s been a great five-plus-years creating this amazing program to feed families throughout Maine.”

In November 2020, Mr. Bottiglierie was named one of 12 “Mainers to Be Thankful For” in a special Thanksgiving edition of the Portland Press Herald / Morning Sentinel / Kennebec Journal. Under his leadership, Winslow Community Cupboard grew from serving 24 families when it first opened to now serving as many as 300 on its service days.
