We all know that our students struggle financially to meet the expenses of higher education as well as living expenses. Some may be forced to choose between rent or heat or food, choosing the last on that list last in their budgets, and so cheat themselves of the nutrition they need. In an effort to relieve some of that stress, our staff has researched and compiled information about food assistance available in the communities surrounding our Portland and Gorham campuses, and posted that information, as well as information about eligibility for the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, also known as "food stamps") on our web site:
Please share this information as appropriate, and help us keep our students well nourished in mind and body! -ATM
