The Locker Project distributes staples as well as donated and rescued fresh food to children and their families at more than 40 preschools, schools and neighborhood sites in Cumberland County. We rescue fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat, and breads from Rosemont Markets, Standard Baking Company, Hannaford in West Falmouth and Scarborough, and Shaw’s in Portland and South Portland. Good Shepherd Food Bank provides access to discounted foods and fresh produce. During the growing season, local farmers and community gardeners also share their surplus produce.

Our Mission
The Locker Project connects food-insecure children in Maine with nourishing food to improve their learning capacity, health, and future. We take a whole-family approach to child hunger with programs that strive to be low barrier, stigma-free, and environmentally responsible.
