Getting started.
Who this helps
Brunswick residents who need help with basic needs may qualify. Applicants must use available resources first, such as food and fuel assistance, Medicaid, and TANF.
How to get started
The Town gives applicants a decision sheet saying whether they qualify and what they need to do to qualify for future assistance.
Schedule an appointment.
Call Human Services at (207) 725-6661 to schedule.
Complete the application.
At your appointment, each person seeking help must complete an application so the Town can decide eligibility.
