Wayside Food Programs has been increasing access to nutritious food for our neighbors in Southern Maine since 1986. Wayside’s hunger relief efforts include free weekly Community Meals, Mobile Food Pantries, and Kids’ Healthy Snacks programs. Their Food Rescue program provides nearly all the food that they share with 70+ partners throughout Southern Maine, including food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and other social service agencies. This rescued food not only feeds people, but also keeps millions of pounds of food waste out of landfills each year. Join us as at the library we welcome Don Morrison, Operations Manager of Wayside Food Programs. He’ll walk us through what it takes to keep Wayside’s multi-faceted day-to-day operations running smoothly to not only fight local hunger, but also to use food as a tool to strengthen community. Come learn how Wayside increases access to nutritious food in our community, what makes their approach unique, and how you can help. 

This program will take place in person at the library and will be streamed simultaneously on Zoom, for those wishing to attend virtually.
