According to the news release, Waldo County Bounty, in 2025, produced 12,500 pounds of freshly picked produce distributed to food pantries and soup kitchens, 9,000 organic vegetable seedlings purchased from a local farm and distributed to families, Supported dozens of local farms by purchasing vegetables for food pantries, 26 "give or take" food stands in Waldo County, and gleaning farms and gardens for unused food for hunger relief programs. 

The "Concert for Food Security" will use the same large waterfront lawn as the Belfast Summer Nights series with space for hundreds of people on blankets and portable chairs, according to the Rotary.
