Mission Statement
The Locker Project connects 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 aim to be low barrier, stigma-free, and environmentally responsible.
About This Cause
The Locker Project is a South Portland-based nonprofit that partners with Good Shepherd Food Bank and more than 40 schools and agencies to operate school- and community-based take-home food programs. The agency's fresh food program recovers thousands of pounds of produce, bread, and meat every week from local markets -- food that would otherwise go to waste -- for distribution at schools and neighboring sites across Greater Portland. In 2020, the Locker Project doubled the quantity of food shared with the community by packing thousands of take-home bags of fresh food and staples each month for children and families across Greater Portland. In 2023, the Locker Project shared more than 558,000lb of fresh food and staples with children and families at risk of hunger.
