We are proud to share our annual report with you and highlight some of the amazing work that is happening across the state to #feedkids. Thank you to our supporters and partners who have made it possible for Maine kids to access meals throughout a challenging and unprecedented time.

While #GivingTuesday can be a time for nonprofits to focus on raising crucial funds, it can sometimes feel like a competition, with so many great causes asking for donations. We are grateful to our direct supporters and those fundraising on our behalf, but we don’t want to just talk about ourselves today. ⁣ ⁣ One of our core beliefs is that ending childhood food insecurity in Maine is only possible through collective action. In this spirit, we’d like to use our platform to spotlight some other great organizations that you may not be aware of — many of them BIPOC-led — that are working alongside us in this fight. We encourage you to follow them and learn more.⁣ ⁣ @cultivatingcommunitymaine @lockerprojectmaine @wabanakiphw @mano.maine @presentemaine @newrootscoop @ccfoodsecurity (& Food Fuels Learning) @somalibantumaine @bordertownsbgc
