Preble Street

About Preble Street

From its start as a small social work agency in 1975, Preble Street has been guided by its mission to provide accessible barrier-free services to empower people experiencing problems with homelessness, hunger, and poverty, and to advocate for solutions to these problems. 50 years later, Preble Street is a statewide organization providing critical services and care that impact thousands of Maine’s most vulnerable community members each year. In addition to the largest direct service emergency food program in northern New England, Preble Street operates low-barrier programs throughout Maine providing 24/365 services for individuals and families, including homeless youth, women, Veterans, and survivors of human trafficking.
