💛 Each lunch includes:

• Bag of chips
• Dessert
• A drink

If you or someone you know could use a little kindness this week, send them our way.

In response to the SNAP funding crisis, MFFM will continue providing Maine Harvest Bucks at farmers' markets regardless of whether your card has remaining funds.

When you show your EBT card at the Info Booth of any participating farmers' market, you'll receive $15 in Maine Harvest Bucks to spend on fresh produce. You can do this every time you visit the market in the month of November.

Maine Harvest Bucks is our statewide food access program that makes shopping at the farmers' market more affordable, and pays farmers the full retail value for their work.

Normally, when you spend SNAP/EBT at the farmers' market, you earn matching bonus Maine Harvest Bucks. SNAP shoppers are an essential part of the farmers' market community and we will do all we can to support you.

If you still have funds on your EBT card, you can continue spending them, and the regular Maine Harvest Bucks match is still in effect.

Find a list of all currently open participating farmers' markets at https://www.maineharvestbucks.org

Not a SNAP shopper, but want to help? We need you.
Maine Harvest Bucks is a highly efficient, effective food security and farmer support program. It empowers over 30,000 Maine households to eat more fresh, local food, and brings over $750,000 a year in direct, full-value sales to Maine farmers' market vendors.

Bangor Area business/Vendor list coming up.

Hello everyone, we are working to put together businesses owned by our Bangor Area African Community members.

We will be pinning this post and updating it as needed.

A tip 💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💥💥💥💥 though, so many catering and food businesses you want to keep an eye out for, from different countries and cultures in Africa right here in our Greayer Bangor Region. Several of them utilize delivery services and licensed to provide food from producer directly to the final consumer.

Stay tuned.
