Parker Produce in the Community
At Parker Produce, we believe in strong, local communities and we know that our community is only as
strong as those citizens who need the most help. That's why we work to help those who need a hand. We
also participate in other aspects of the community in an effort to make it as strong as possible.
In 2008, Parker
Produce donated part of our harvest to The Shaw House. The Shaw House is a Bangor shelter for homeless
children age 10-17. For more information about the Shaw House and its programs to help children, please contact them

Dinner. This is an event that honors a small handful of people who have really made a difference and actually made positive
changes in Maine and the entire world. Parker Produce congratulates this year's winners, including our newest speaker
of the Maine House of Representatives, Hannah Pingree, and thanks MPA for all it's hard work on the issues affecting Mainers.
