WHO WE ARE

Youth Full Maine helps children, families, and neighbors in York County get the healthy food they need.

Youth Full Maine’s mission is to provide healthy food for York County students and residents impacted by food insecurity. We believe that having enough nourishing food helps people stay healthy, succeed at school and work, and build stronger communities.

We manage food pantries in pre-K through 12th-grade schools and hosts regular fresh produce distributions at schools, neighborhood sites, and summer lunch program sites.

Our vision is to empower youth and citizens of York County, Maine to access healthy food and gain more self-sufficiency, and to gradually end hunger and food insecurity in Maine.

Need Food? We’re here to help.

Youth Full Maine does not have income requirements to receive food.

When you visit us, we’ll ask a few simple questions, such as how many people are in your household and where you live. This helps us understand who we’re serving and make sure we’re providing the food our communities need.

If you need food, please come see us.

For up-to-date food distribution dates, locations, and updates, please follow us on Facebook or Instagram.
