The L-A Community Food Charter helps to pave a road map for improving the nutritious food choices for L-A residents and visitors.

– Maine Farm & Sea Cooperative

Everyone in the L-A region should have access to locally-raised meats to fill their freezers.

– Farmers’ Gate Market

Central Maine Medical Center and Central Maine Heart & Vascular Institute support the local efforts to have food security, sustainable agriculture, available for all in our community to assist in meeting basic human needs and to promote health and healing.

– Central Maine Medical Center/Central Maine Heart & Vascular Institute

It is an expression of community values in relation to a healthy food system.

– Cumberland County Food Security Council

We are excited to join alongside many others in our community who believe good food, and a strong food system, play a critical role in personal health and a thriving community.

– St. Mary’s Nutrition Center

In order to ensure that we as a state are food secure, and that as part of our local food network, we believe that all local producers of good food should co-operate towards the greater goal of local food security.

– Valley View Farm

Everyone deserves good food! Being clear about what that means gives us a way to move toward more and more access over time.

– Cooperative Development Institute

Grow L+A has heard from this community the important role food plays - in health, community development and the local economy. We are excited to see the GFCLA put forth a charter that states clearly the beliefs shared by so many, and provide an opportunity for real commitment from individuals, organizations and institutions.

– Grow L+A

Our work intersects with the local food system on many levels, as we distribute meals and groceries, secure food rescue donations, and help people access agricultural and restaurant jobs. Food has the power to strengthen and unite people and none of our neighbors should be left out.

– Trinity Jubilee Center

The American diet needs a revival and I believe the Food Charter will help do that by promoting consciously raised meats and veggies and by making it accessible to everyone. From seed to consumption, the Food Charter will help create a healthier community.

– Little Ridge Farm
