Veggies to Table, a non-profit grow-to-donate vegetable and flower farm in Newcastle, has been selected by Hannaford Supermarkets as a beneficiary of their Fight Hunger Bag Program at their Waldoboro branch located at Kalers Corner Street #17 for all of July.

The Hannaford Fight Hunger Bag Program makes it easy for shoppers to give back to the community. Throughout the month of July, Veggies to Table will receive a $1 donation from every purchase of the $2.50 Fight Hunger Bag.

“We are so delighted and grateful to be recognized in this way once again,” says Veggies to Table Executive Director Erica Berman, “knowing that both Hannaford and its shoppers will be supporting our organization as we work hard to bring healthy food and uplifting flowers to people in need in our community.”

Fifteen out of a hundred of Maine families are food insecure—lacking consistent access to enough food for everyone in their households to lead healthy lives. The number of food-insecure children is even higher, at one out of five. Berman and her husband, Alain Ollier, founded Veggies to Table in 2019 to help address this great need.

Everything Veggies to Table grows, they donate in collaboration with 35+ local partners, including food pantries, schools, summer lunch programs and hospitals—filling hungry stomachs and lifting spirits along the way.
