We buy food directly from farmers and distribute it to food access and hunger relief organizations.
Gleaning
We redirect unused and surplus food to hunger relief programs.
Gardening
We support home gardeners by supplying a wide variety of resources.
Join our Give & Take Webinar - part of UMaine Cooperative Extension’s Spring Gardening Series
Get the inside scoop on the WCB Give & Take Program, a stigma-free model for sharing surplus garden produce through community drop-off sites, at this upcoming webinar on Tuesday, April 7, from 6–7:15pm. Hosted by UMaine Cooperative Extension as part of its Spring Gardening Webinar Series: Building Food Security in Maine, Waldo County Bounty’s Viña Lindley and Mattie John Bamman will share how the Give & Take Program operates, how new sites are selected, and how to start a Give & Take site in your own community.
In Waldo County, 19.5 percent of all people experience food insecurity. That is 1 in 5 residents.
