Our Partners
Growing to Give collaborates with a number of other organizations to ensure that the vegetables it grows are harvested on time and transported promptly to food pantries and other access sites where they can reach local people struggling with food insecurity.
Our primary partners are local gleaning groups: the Merrymeeting Gleaners, the Androscoggin Gleaners and the Cumberland County Gleaning Initiative. These volunteer groups have worked with us to harvest and transport vegetables to various food access sites, including:
