Picnic Project is a standing invitation.

An invitation to big tables, open arms, hope and abundance - because no one has to be hungry or lonely. We are ensuring our neighbors in Sanford have access to nutritious food through grocery assistance, cooking classes, food rescue, mobile pantries and community meals.
