FOOD BANKS: EVERY DAY MORE PEOPLE GO HUNGRY IN MAINE THAN IN ANY OTHER NEW ENGLAND STATE. NATIONWIDE, MAINE IS RANKED AS THE SEVENTH MOST FOOD INSECURE, A DESIGNATION THAT MEANS RESIDENTS LACK ACCESS TO THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF FOOD NECESSARY FOR AN ACTIVE, HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. THESE NUMBERS MEAN THAT 16% OF THE STATE'S POPULATION IS FOOD INSECURE,. INCLUDING ONE OUT OF EVERY 5 CHILDREN, ACCORDING TO DATA RELEASED IN SEPTEMBER 2017 BY THE US DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
