As the upcoming school year approaches, we’re calling on the community to help us re-stock our pantries. The generosity of our friends and neighbors enables us to continue our mission to feed food-insecure kids throughout Southern Maine. Click here to view our 2017 Summer Appeal letter. As always, thank you for your support!
The Locker Project, in partnership with the Good Shepherd Food Bank, helps ensure food security for all Maine children through local schools. The Locker Project works with schools to create programs for providing students with healthy class-time snacks and take-home food for the times they are most likely to experience hunger.
We partner with other like-minded groups to bring nutrition, food budget, and healthy food preparation education to kids and families. We distribute fresh produce donated by local farms to Good Shepherd Food Bank at school events. We share neighborhood gardeners’ harvests with families in need. We partner with Portland Rotary, the South Portland Food Cupboard, the Maine Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and Full Plates/Full Potential to assist schools in getting food to hungry children.
