flag Maine launches interactive food access map to combat rising hunger, especially among children.

flag Maine has launched the Maine Food Access Map, an interactive online tool to help residents find food pantries, meal sites, WIC clinics, and school-based programs. flag The map, created by the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s Ending Hunger Corps, aims to combat rising food insecurity, especially among children, driven by higher grocery costs and reduced SNAP benefits. flag With food pantries seeing increased demand, the platform consolidates statewide resources into one accessible site, updated regularly with input from local organizations. flag It is part of broader efforts to improve access to nutritious food, particularly in a state with one of the highest food insecurity rates in New England.
