We’re writing today to ask for your support to fight child hunger in Maine.


One in three public school students in Cumberland County is at risk of going hungry in the evenings, on the weekends, and during school breaks. Poor nutrition affects children's health and well-being, physical and emotional development, and ability to focus in school.

The Locker Project connects food-insecure children with nourishing food to improve their learning capacity, health and future.

At the Locker Project, we are committed to ensuring that all children in our communities have healthy food to eat. Every month, more than 600 students take home snacks and non-perishable items from our school pantries. More than 1,200 take home fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs and bread to share with their families.

If you're in a position to help this holiday season, please consider making either a one-time OR a monthly contribution (by checking the box in the link below). We’re deeply grateful for any support you can provide, and we thank you for helping us feed Maine’s future, one child at a time!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The Portland Press Herald recently ran an editorial highlighting the fact that food pantries (such as the Locker Project) are able to stretch monetary donations much further than food donations. For instance, we're able to purchase much more food through our partnerships with local food banks than an individual is able to - with the same amount of money - at an independent grocery or retail store.
