Organization Overview
MISSION STATEMENT: To provide healthy food for those in need throughout the greater Augusta area.
Since 1981, the AFB has been providing nutritious food for some of our most vulnerable citizens - children attending area schools, seniors on Social Security, employed adults struggling to make ends meet, a growing immigrant population, disabled veterans, & those struggling with mental illness or substance abuse issues.
Maine ranks 12th in the US with 13.6% of households considered food insecure. The # of ME children and senior citizens going hungry is alarming: 1-in-6 suffer from food insecurity. Since 2020, the AFB has expanded programming & partnerships, significantly increasing our intake and distribution - up 150% over the past five years. We now provide the equivalent of 1,000,000 meals annually to 2,500 individuals each month.
