PENQUIS
Penquis is a nonprofit organization incorporated in 1967 to alleviate and eliminate the causes and conditions of poverty. Through its programs and subsidiaries, Penquis impacts all of Maine’s sixteen counties, but primarily serves low- and moderate-income individuals in Penobscot, Piscataquis and Knox counties.
Our mission is to assist individuals and families in preventing, reducing, or eliminating poverty in their lives and, through partnerships, to engage the community in addressing economic and social needs.
Our vision is for a poverty-free Maine, where all people lead healthy lives full of opportunities to work and learn.
Our goal is for all Maine people to be safe, healthy, connected and financially secure.
Our efforts are focused on helping individuals and families increase financial stability through programs and services that support housing stability, access to education, school readiness and healthy lives.
