Help Feed the Hungry in Maine and Win a Week in Paris!
No one should have to go to bed, or wake up, hungry—ever. Veggies to Table, a non-profit farm that grows and donates organic produce and flowers to help local people experiencing hunger and needing joy, is running a once-in-a-lifetime sweepstakes from Aug. 7 to Sept. 17. The Grand Prize is an event-filled week-long stay in Paris! Additionally, there are many French inspired runner-up prizes. All proceeds will help us grow and donate even more produce to the hungry, while bringing YOU to Paris or, Paris to YOU!
