The BackPack Program provides students who are suffering from the effects of hunger with nutritious, easy-to-prepare food to eat during the weekends and school vacations.
The GMS Garden grows and donates 800-1000 lbs. of produce to the Gorham Food Pantry EVERY YEAR!
Grant money will help sustain the BackPack Program and allow us to add fresh fruit to our weekly packings. We will also purchase a greenhouse for the garden at GMS to expand our growing season, thus increasing our donation to the pantry.
