An Act To Support Hunger Prevention In Maine

LD 415 provides $1 million annually from the General Fund to fund the Statewide Hunger Relief Program under the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry. This funding supports contracts with nonprofit organizations that deliver hunger relief services across Maine. The bill allocates $1 million for each of the 2025-26 and 2026-27 fiscal years, creating ongoing financial support for these community-based services. It directly affects nonprofit groups providing food assistance by securing stable, multi-year funding for their operations.
