💚 THANK YOU, PISCATAQUIS COUNTY! 💚

We're excited to share that the Piscataquis Regional Food Center has been awarded a $3,500 Community Matters More grant from the Bangor Savings Bank Foundation!

Each April, community members across Maine and New Hampshire vote for the nonprofits that matter most to them. Thanks to your support, PRFC was selected as one of this year's grant recipients for the Aroostook/Northern Penobscot/Piscataquis region.

Every vote cast for PRFC helped make this award possible, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who took the time to support us.

A special thank you to Bangor Savings Bank Foundation for continuing to invest in local nonprofits and the communities they serve.

A huge thank you to the Evelyn S. and K.E. Barrett Foundation for supporting our Summer Snack Kit program! ☀️📚🍎

This summer, children throughout Piscataquis County will be able to pick up nutritious snack kits through the Thompson Free Library's Read and Feed Program and at local libraries across the region. These kits will help ensure kids have healthy fuel for reading, exploring, playing, and making the most of their summer adventures.

When school is out, access to food can become more challenging for many families. Thanks to the Barrett Foundation's generosity, we're helping bridge that gap while supporting literacy and learning in our communities.

Together, we're helping local kids fuel up for fun all summer long. Thank you for investing in the health and well-being of our children! ❤️

🌽💚 A Giant THANK YOU to our friends at Piscataquis Forward!

Thanks to their generous donation of hundreds of Bumper Crop certificates, our shoppers will have even more opportunities to access fresh, locally grown food this season!

These certificates can be redeemed at more than 50 farmers’ markets across Maine, helping individuals and families stretch their food budgets while supporting local farmers and strengthening Maine’s food system.

We are incredibly grateful to Piscataquis Forward for investing in the health and well-being of our community and for helping connect our neighbors with nutritious, local foods.

Thank you for helping us make fresh food more accessible, one market, one family, and one community at a time! 🍅🥕🥬
