Live Auction: in Maine on August 11th

In-person tickets are available here — while supplies last!

Auction and Golden Ticket Proceeds – Support Veggies to Table’s Mission to Feed the Hungry

You can help Veggies to Table reach their goal to raise $300,000— to meet their annual needs and keep providing access to nutritious delicious produce while restoring dignity to vulnerable community members.

Your participation directly aids their efforts to feed community members living with  hunger, while moving them closer to their goal of paying their team a thriving wage and hiring a qualified educator to teach local children and families how to grow, cultivate, and prepare healthy food—setting them up for success in the future. As more than 1 in 5 kids go hungry daily in Maine, your support is vital.
