AUGUSTA — Central Maine Power has again partnered with Full Plates Full Potential to ensure children have access to nutritious school meals throughout the holiday season.
From Giving Tuesday, Dec. 1, through the end of the year, CMP will match any donation made to FPFP, up to $10,000. Through this partnership, children and families who are dealing with the logistical challenges of hybrid school models will have access to healthy and nutritious foods while learning at home.
“We are grateful to CMP for their commitment,” said Justin Alfond, Director of Full Plates Full Potential. “It means all gifts will go twice as far as this holiday season.”
In addition to this commitment, CMP donated $100,000 to FPFP’s COVID emergency fund and 100,000 lunch bags in which to place lunches.
“This year, CMP has prioritized addressing food insecurity across the state, especially with our young Mainers,” said Doug Herling, CMP’s president and CEO.
