Preble Street Food Security Hub
Organization - Preble Street Food Security Hub
Food access is a challenge statewide, and this new facility allows us to support the growing number of people across Maine who are food insecure and struggling to get nutritious meals on their table. Preble Street now has the capacity to cook up to 10,000 meals a day, and store 50,000 frozen fully prepared meals at this facility in South Portland, ME.
