Since 2003, Gorham Middle School’s Giving Garden has donated more than 1,000 lbs. of fresh produce annually to the Gorham Food Pantry, while teaching students about sustainability, science, and service through hands-on gardening.

We’re excited to spend the afternoon lending a hand in our community! 🌱
