The Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program is a not-for-profit United Way agency committed to reducing hunger in the greater Brunswick area by offering food assistance to individuals and families who are at high risk due to inadequate financial resources.

Though there are five distinct programs within the agency, they all have one common thread: The reduction of hunger by (1) providing an on-site meal; (2) providing clients with the opportunity to obtain food to prepare meals at home and (3) providing strategies for sustainable living education designed to empower and assist our consumers to become more self-sufficient.

In addition to providing food assistance, Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program has also developed collaborative relationships with other non-profit agencies which serve a similar population.

For instance, the CHANS area home health-care agency provides on-site blood pressure screening once per month and a free flu shot clinic in the fall. Clients of the local Tedford Shelter come to the Soup Kitchen for their noon meal Monday through Friday and families housed in Tedford's Family Shelter are provided with food through the agency's Food Pantry.

Like all non-profit agencies, the agency depends on the efforts of volunteers and the generosity of donors to fulfill its mission. Please see the What's Cooking section for updates on our current needs.
