Joining the statewide Maine Network of Community Food Councils has been an imperative part of our work at the Good Food Council of L-A. This collaborative platform brings together diverse voices, all united by a shared vision of promoting sustainable practices, improving access to healthy food, and fostering local economies across the state of Maine. As a member of this network, we have become part of a dynamic community of food councils focused on creating innovative solutions to pressing food-related challenges, ensuring that every person has the opportunity to enjoy nutritious, locally sourced meals. Together, we can drive meaningful change and build a more equitable food future for all.
