Dev and the CGG volunteer teams grow vegetables for distribution to Brunswick area residents in need through the Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program. During the 2020 growing season, the CGG produced over 4,000 pounds of fresh produce despite the challenges of bringing groups together to work during a pandemic.
