About The Food Security Coalition…
Sponsored by the United Way of Mid Coast Maine and the Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program, the Food Security Coalition (FSC) is made up of representatives from 21 food pantries and soup kitchens in the Mid Coast region. By working together, the FSC seeks to identify ways to increase their volunteer base, sources of food, and fundraising efforts.

Garden Seed Project
Thanks to the extremely generous support of Fedco Seeds, Botanical Interests, Growing to Give, and the University of Maine Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners Program, more than 4,000 garden seed packets went out to the 19 food pantries in the Food Security Coalition to those who would like to grow their own garden. See Garden Resources for more info on how to grow a garden.
