In the last year, many food pantries across the state reported increased visits from families who had never previously needed to use the food pantry.
Before the pandemic, 12.3 percent of Mainers were food-insecure. At the height of the pandemic, that number jumped to 14.7 percent. Thanks to the resilient food pantries and other agencies in our state, along with the generosity of thousands of Mainers, we anticipate that Maine’s hunger rate will level off at 13.5 percent in 2021.
Together we can Feed Maine.
NEWS CENTER Maine launched Feed Maine in September 2017 with a goal to raise enough money to supply one million meals to the people of Maine when and where they need it, ultimately to end food insecurity in our state. We are happy to report we reached that goal, but Mainers are still food insecure, and we need your help.

In case you have been living in a hole for the last year, you know that few days pass when we don t use the word protest in our daily conversations.
Some of us can still remember the years of the violent Vietnam war protests of 1968-1970, those following the assassination of Martin Luther King, and the time Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of anti-war protesters at Kent State University, killing four.
This summer, our beloved nation has endured a series of racial and social protests.
We watched, just three weeks ago, in horror as a political rally in Washington, D.C. morphed into a raging mob. They stormed the capitol, trashed our nation s political cathedral, sent legislators cowering in hiding, and cost the lives of five, including two police officers.
