Emergency Food Programs

FOOD PROGRAMS

Our direct service, emergency food work meets basic needs of the most impoverished residents of Maine’s largest urban area, providing over 100,000 meals a month.

The Preble Street Food Pantry provides both fresh and non-perishable food to meet basic nutritional needs for 3 meals a day per person for 3 days.

The Preble Street Food Security Hub is a dynamic space to combat food insecurity through partnerships and collaboration — bringing more meals and grocery boxes to clients in need. 

Preble Street Soup Kitchens serve a variety of meal plans throughout the day, every day of the year to people of all ages — ranging from youth experiencing homelessness to elders and immigrant families struggling to maintain independence on a fixed income — for whom food is scarce.
