Cookbook Swap for a Cause!
Join us for a cozy afternoon of sharing cookbooks, conversation, and community—all to support the Locker Project, a nonprofit that rescues surplus food and brings it directly to schools and neighborhoods across Greater Portland. In 2024 alone, staff and volunteers shared more than 600,000 pounds of food with more than 2,500 kids and families (!!!), helping ensure everyone has access to fresh produce and pantry staples at home.
Here's how our event will work:
Hour 1: Arrival + Mingling
- Bring up to 5 cookbooks you’re ready to part with—especially the gems you once loved (in good condition) but just don’t reach for anymore!
- Donate ($20 suggested) at the door, at mainelockerproject.org/donate, or on Venmo (100% goes to the Locker Project)
- Get 1 ticket for every cookbook you bring
- Enjoy drinks (like Three of Strong's Locker Project Lemonade, a special creation for the event!) , snacks, and good company while browsing the book table
Hour 2: Swap Time
- Use your tickets to “buy” new-to-you cookbooks
- Need more tickets? Grab extras for $5 each
🎁 Raffle Alert! Everyone who donates enters to win a raffle valued at $100
Come for the cookbooks - stay to support our cause 💛
