From the [1] University of Maine Cooperative Extension:
Grow Produce for Food Pantries with Maine Harvest for Hunger
As local gardeners start making their garden plans, the University of Maine Cooperative Extension’s Master Gardener Volunteers Program is asking gardeners to consider growing extra produce to donate to local food pantries. The program coordinates volunteers, helps them connect with local food pantries and provides advice about what to grow and when to harvest. Please visit [2] http://umaine.edu/harvest-for-hunger.
The 2011 Senior FarmShare Program is currently available to eligible seniors!
Participants in the Senior FarmShare Program are entitled to receive a FarmShare ($50 worth) of first quality, fresh, local produce from a Maine farm for a core 8-week period during the growing season. The variety of produce and supply method will vary depending on the farm you choose. For more information: [3] click here.
