Since 1981, The Biddeford Food Pantry has been focused on helping the citizens of Biddeford, Maine in the fight against hunger. We serve a mix of low-income people whom may be elderly, single mothers with children, mentally and physically impaired, have health issues, transient or homeless people, new immigrants now living in Maine, or even those in need of emergency food rescue due to unpredictab

le life situations. These people are often unemployed, or under employed and even have full time jobs but just have a hard time financially making ends meet based on their monthly income level.

In our 2024-2025 fiscal year, we distributed more than a half a million lbs of food to 7,800 individuals in our community, more than 30% of whom were children.

Our 2025-2026 fiscal year wraps up at the end of May. It is hard to share numbers like this when we expect them to increase year over year. That means that more people in our community are facing food insecurity.

Thanks to the ongoing support of community members like you - as donors and volunteers - we were able to process this incredible volume of requests going to those that most need it, and are continuing to meet the growing need.
