WHAT IS YOUTH FULL MAINE?

WE ARE A NONPROFIT LOCATED IN BIDDEFORD, MAINE WORKING TO DIMINISH FOOD INSECURITY IN YORK COUNTY, MAINE THROUGH OUR IN SCHOOL FOOD PANTRIES AND MOBILE FREE FOOD DISTRIBUTIONS. WE COLLABORATE WITH OUR COMMUNITIES, SCHOOL SYSTEMS, VOLUNTEERS AND DONORS TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL.

WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW?

Youth Full Maine was founded in 2019 with the initial focus of establishing on-campus food pantries in schools across York County, ME. When the pandemic shut down schools we still had a truck full of food on the way. And that’s when our mobile food distribution model began. The need was big in the beginning and has only grown exponentially with recent economic changes. 1 in 10 adults and 1 in 7 children in Maine face hunger. According to the 2021 Feeding America Meal Gap study 8.9% of the population in York County, ME is food insecure and the average cost of a meal is $4.16. Our mission is to eliminate hunger and food insecurity in York County, ME.
