Organizational Awardee

Full Plates Full Potential is a Brunswick, Maine-based anti-hunger nonprofit dedicated to ending childhood food insecurity statewide, with a mission built around ensuring every child has consistent access to nutritious food both in school and out. The organization pursues this through a combination of direct program support, public education, and policy engagement, partnering closely with state agencies such as the Maine Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Education to strengthen programs like school meals, SUN Bucks, and SNAP. One of Maine's most prominent voices in the fight against hunger, the organization regularly engages with lawmakers, the press, and community partners to defend and expand the social safety net for children as federal policy and rising costs put increasing pressure on Maine families.
