PORTLAND, Maine, March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The Maine Honda Dealers Association (MHDA) is supporting six local schools with donations intended to improve lunch programs. This mission was built upon American Honda s campaign to assist communities impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
With COVID-19 causing the suspension of in-person learning, food resources remain a concern for many families with schoolchildren. According to nokidhungry.org, one in four children could face hunger due to the pandemic. In Maine, 173,080 people are struggling with hunger, and 47,460 of them are children. The MHDA is committed to giving back to school lunch programs that are in deficit as a result of COVID-19. The six dealerships within the association have each chosen a local school to donate $1,000 to its lunch program.

This was a rich week for the House Agriculture and Forestry Committee as we took testimony regarding some of the programs we consider our legacy.
Early in the week, we heard from folks who work on the Working Lands Enterprise Initiative. Working Lands was created in 2012 to increase investment in our agriculture and forestry sectors. It was based on the hard work of many people appointed by the Vermont Council on Rural Development (VCRD) to the Working Landscape Council. The Council consisted of representatives from the full spectrum of farmers, processors, government officials, and forestry-related sectors. Also on the Council was Windham Countyâs own, Roger Allbee, who is the former Secretary of Agriculture, and Paul Costello, the Executive Director of VCRD.
