Savoie received the Distinguished Service Award, the highest award presented by the group, for making a significant impact on revitalizing the art and science of food preservation in Maine. Maine is the only New England state to offer the Master Food Preserver program, which trains volunteers to extend the reach of food preservation education throughout communities.
