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! ❤️

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! 🍅🥕🥬

🌟 Thank You Thursday 🌟

Today, we’re sending a huge THANK YOU to our incredible Fresh Rescue partners, Shaw's Supermarket and Edwards Brothers Supermarkets Dover-Foxcroft, for helping us keep fresh, nourishing, and comforting foods on our shelves for our neighbors across Piscataquis County. ❤️

Because of their ongoing generosity, families visiting the Food Center are able to bring home essentials like fresh milk, bread, apples and produce, along with a few sweet treats that can brighten a difficult week.

In a rural community like ours, access to fresh food can be a challenge, and partnerships like these make a real difference every single day. We simply could not offer the variety and quality of foods we do without the support of community-minded businesses willing to step up and help reduce waste while feeding neighbors.

Thank you, Shaw’s and Edward’s Brothers, for being part of the village that helps nourish our community. 🥖🍎🥛💚

Good things grow when we work together.
Throughout May, each $2.50 reusable Fight Hunger Bag purchased at Edward’s Brothers in Dover-Foxcroft will donate $1 to PRFC and the Dover-Foxcroft Area Food Center.
Together, we are helping to strengthen and support our community.
