The Ecology School is helping put an end to food insecurity across Maine, one food bank at a time

SACO, Maine — The Ecology School in Saco has received a generous donation of $250,000 from Hannaford Supermarkets to teach students and adults how to grow their own food and to help fight hunger in Maine.

The donation from Hannaford will help The Ecology School expand its mission and bring educational gardens to more locations. 

"With the help of this donation, we can continue growing our produce and expand our work with local food banks in the area to donate about one-third of that produce to local food banks," Leanna Bonds, Director of Advancement and Community Partnerships at The Ecology School, said.
