donate
Contributions to our General Fund give us the most flexibility to direct dollars where they are needed most - compensating class instructors fairly for their time and expertise, improving our physical campus in Wiscasset to better support our stakeholders and our efforts, ongoing operational costs, supporting and contributing to other organizations' efforts to lift up Maine food and beverage producers, and much more.
Every dollar makes a difference and we thank you sincerely for considering a contribution to the Maine Food and Beverage Education Center!

Volunteer
While we don't have a formal volunteer program just yet, if you have expertise that you'd like to share, we'd like to hear from you! We are always looking for advisors, extra support during classes and events, and relationships with people who share our passion for Maine-made food and drink.
Collaborate
Are you a Maine-based food/drink producer, chef or representative of a Maine-based food/drink trade association? If you're looking for a venue for classes or other events that spotlight Maine ingredients or industries, we want to work with you! We are always looking for great topics and instructors and would love to collaborate with you to educate consumers about your product or industry.
