You've heard it before, but I honestly believe that there's no more generous people than Mainers. Mainers consistently step up to help their fellow Mainers. I am constantly amazed at the generosity and outpouring of support for people and causes in the 40 years that I have lived in Maine. You prove over and over what I have said "Mainers take care of Mainers and those that they love".

Kids are in school and having crackers, granola bars, applesauce and other snacks for lunch boxes and after school snacks makes a big difference. Whatever your favorite snack is, we know others will enjoy it too!
