York Community Food Pantry to Receive First Foodprint Donation from Maine Companies Maine Manufacturing, Cole Harrison

This morning, we here at the Fresh Food Frenzy Project are gearing up for our next donation to the community, and this time it will be even bigger than our first. Biannually, we offer the companies who receive our weekly fruit4theoffice fruit delivery service an opportunity to choose a local food pantry to be the recipient of all of the foodprints they have accumulated over the six-month period in an effort to show our customers appreciation. Companies collect these foodprints with each fruit box they receive. 

Two of the companies which we work with - Maine Manufacturing and Cole Harrison Insurance - have elected the York Community Food Pantry to be the recipient of their foodprints. The York Community Food Pantry is located in York, Maine and is a branch of the YCSA - York County Service Association - which also offers family services and runs a community thrift shop. Their mission is simple: "To extend hospitality to every York resident who turns to us in need" (YCSA, 2013). The food pantry is open for distribution and to volunteers on Thursdays from 12:30 pm -3:00 pm.  Donations and volunteers are welcomed.

Maine Manufacturing is located in Sanford, Maine and has been in operation since 2007. The company is responsible for the production and supplementation of various products which utilize GVS Filter Technology (GVS Group, 2014). Maine Manufacturing is donating a total of 210 servings of fruit to the York Community Food Pantry.

Cole Harrison Insurance is an independent insurance provider located in Kennebunk, Maine. The company was founded in 1882 and is a Trusted Choice Agent, and is one of the most reputable insurance providers in all of Southern Maine (Cole Harrison, 2014). Cole Harrison is donating a total of 105 servings of fruit to the York Community Food Pantry. 

It is because of our loyal customers like Maine Manufacturing and Cole Harrison Insurance that we were able to found the Fresh Food Frenzy Project this Spring. We hope to see this project continue to grow and make an impact in our surrounding Southern Maine communities.
