people like you are essential in supporting the Merrymeeting Bay Region’s local food system & our communities!
Donations support the community and food system building work of the Merrymeeting Food Council.
Online donations will be managed by our non-profit partner, Kennebec Estuary Land Trust.
If you prefer not to donate online, please contact us.
MFC works with partners and community members to develop collaborative events, resources, and programs like Community Meals, Food Security Screening at hospitals, expanding SNAP/Maine Harvest Bucks at area Farmers’ Markets, and our Farm Skills Training Program. Our programs seek to: increase access to healthy food; support those growing, raising and catching our food; and build community.
Donations received through this campaign will help us remove barriers to participation in our programs, particularly the Farm Skills Training Program. In this program, participants learn basic job skills and farm skills through a network of partners that support the paid 11 week training program. Barriers such as transportation, childcare, work clothing, and food are addressed through our network, so the program is accessible to all who are interested. Ongoing paid work experiences on area farms and career support are also part of our commitment to participants and to building a more resilient local food system. Please learn more about our work and the organizations we partner with to make this work possible!
Donations are managed on our behalf by our partner, the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust.
