The Locker Project mission is to connect food-insecure children in Maine with nourishing food to improve their learning capacity, health and future. We take a whole-family approach to child hunger with programs that strive to be low-barrier, stigma-free, and environmentally responsible.
With the help of our community partners, donors and volunteers, the Locker Project distributes healthy take-home food to children at public schools, preschools, and youth programs and shares fresh food at libraries, parks, and other community locations.
In 2024, we shared more than 600,000 pounds of fresh food and pantry staples with 2,500+ Greater Portland children and their families.
