Maine’s Hunger Crisis Deepens | Portland Maine News
Description
Hunger in Maine is surging to its worst levels in a decade, with over 203,000 people—including 31,000 seniors—struggling to eat. Rising grocery prices and slashed SNAP benefits are hitting families, veterans, and especially kids hardest, with Maine topping New England in childhood hunger. Rural areas like Washington County are bearing the brunt, while food pantries scramble to meet demand as the annual shortfall balloons to $151 million.
