Maine Points: Full Plates Full Potential

Full Plates Full Potential is a coalition of community leaders, stakeholders and advocates working to end child hunger in Maine. Started in 2014 by John Woods and Justin Alfond, the organization was born out of the work of the Maine Legislature’s Task Force to End Student Hunger. Through that work, they realized that Maine desperately needed a statewide organization focused solely on maximizing participation in federal child nutrition programs.

Danny speaks with Justin Alfond and gets an update on the work they are doing to help end hunger in Maine.
