Today and for the remainder of the semester, we will be collecting non-perishable food items for the local food pantry. Have extra items in your room that you're not taking with you when you leave campus? Unused meal plan dollars? You can purchase items in retail to donate. Let's help others, today and everyday ❤️

This Friday, during Earth Week, join us in fighting hunger! Drop off non-perishable food items at your campus dining hall. 1 in 3 college students face food insecurity—let's change that. In 1996, Sodexo formed the Stop Hunger Initiative. In 1999, they launched the "Stop the Hunger Foundation." Sodexo believes every child deserves access to nutritious food.

Did you know that eating local is one of the easiest — and tastiest — ways to help the planet? When you choose local goods, you reduce transportation emissions, support nearby farmers and fishers, and keep your food system more resilient and sustainable.
At the University of Maine System, The Maine Course by Sodexo leads the way toward a greener future. This initiative brings fresh, local products and produce to campus tables while sourcing GMRI-approved sustainable seafood from our Gulf of Maine waters.
By investing in our local food economy, we’re not just eating better — we’re doing better for the Earth.

National Employee Appreciation Day is today, and since we're on spring break, we celebrated our amazing dining team members all last week!

We appreciate everyone who participated in our "Happy Together" food raffle and hope you enjoy your plushies! We truly have the best community here at MMA!
