SOUTH PORTLAND The Locker Project and the South Portland School Department have benefitted from a partnership together, helping students and families continue to have healthy food all year.
Primarily serving South Portland, Portland and Westbrook, the nonprofit Locker Project provides fresh food, healthy staples to schools, said the organization’s website.
Beginning in 2015, the Locker Project opened a school pantry at Kaler Elementary, then expanding to Brown, Memorial, Skillin and South Portland High School in 2016, Small and Mahoney in 2019 and Dyer in the fall of 2020, Kathryn Sargent, executive director, said.
