GROWING UP
HUNGRY IN MAINE, nearly one in four kids suffer from food
insecurity— limited or uncertain access to the
nutritional foods they need to develop to their full
potential. Children who suffer from chronic
hunger endure lifelong consequences including
poor health, behavioral difficulties, and impaired
performance at school.
Also, participation in nutritional programs is
directly related to healthy living. School aged girls
across the United States that participate in
programs like school lunch and breakfast are 68%
less likely to be overweight than girls suffering
from hunger insecurity who do not participate
in programs.*
In Portland alone, 13% of people live below the
poverty line. The national average household
income of a family living below the poverty line is
less than $21,834 per year. (U.S. Census Bureau,
ACS, 2009)
