Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program, the largest food access agency in a six-county region of Maine, has empowered low-income populations with dignified access to food for over 41 years. With the Lowe’s Hometowns grant, MCHPP's main food pantry and soup kitchen will add a welcoming, ADA-compliant front entrance, refurbished restrooms, freshly painted floors and walls, a weather-resilient entry awning, a replacement deli case, painted parking spaces, and replacement heating/cooling pumps to reduce noise and regulate temperature. These renovations will expand the capacity of the center, offering clients a more welcoming, dignified and accessible experience, while allowing staff and volunteers to more efficiently store and distribute groceries and meals.
