ATTEND AN EVENT
Meet Us At Winslow Farm!
💚 We did it—together! 💚
Thanks to your generosity, our very first Fund a Farm Campaign raised OVER $1,600 to purchase fresh, local produce from Winslow Farm—all donated to families in need here in Maine.
Every dollar you gave made a double impact by supporting local farmers and helping fight food insecurity in our community. With this milestone, Farms for Food Equity is bringing fresh, healthy food to the tables of our neighbors while strengthening Maine farms and local food systems.
We’re so grateful to Rosemont Market & Bakery for sharing delicious treats and supporting this mission.
This campaign may be over, but you can always DONATE NOW and keep creating access to local food for every family in Maine.
HOST A FRESH FOOD DRIVE
Farms for Food Equity’s Fresh Food Fundraisers are a fresh twist on the classic canned food drive—literally.
Instead of collecting shelf-stable goods, your school, business, or community group can raise funds that FFE uses to buy fresh, local vegetables directly from Maine farms, delivering them straight to families in need.
This approach not only puts healthier, more nutritious food on tables, but also supports local farmers and keeps our food system strong.
With just $10 providing 20 pounds of potatoes or $50 supplying 75 pounds of squash, your fundraiser can make a big, immediate impact—feeding neighbors and strengthening farms at the same time.
PARTNER WITH US AS A FUNDING SPONSOR
Our funding sponsors—businesses, foundations, and philanthropic organizations—play a critical role in ensuring fresh, local food reaches those who need it most while strengthening the viability of Maine’s small farms.
As a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, your contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, making your investment both impactful and financially beneficial.
By partnering with us, you’re not only fueling hunger relief with healthier options, you’re also supporting the local economy, building community resilience, and showcasing your organization’s commitment to social good.
Together, we can turn generosity into healthy harvests for all.
