No Neighbor Left Behind is a meal program that grew out of a Community Compass Navigator uncovering the need for a meal delivery just before the weekend (when children don’t receive meals at school). Our church participates in preparing and donating simple meals for many, packaging those meals, and delivering them to homes throughout the area. Extra food is also used for a free community meals at the same time. Over the course of the last several years, NNLB has helped us learn more about the cycle of poverty and how it affects our neighbors – people whom God has blessed and for whom God cares. On the last Friday of each month, more than 100 meals are prepared and delivered to Castine, Penobscot and Sedgwick.
