About Christine B. Foundation

The moment cancer enters your life, everything shifts. Questions outnumber answers, and many Mainers begin treatment feeling hopeless as they face uncertainty about care, finances, and, often for the first time, understand the critical role nutrition plays in their journey ahead.

That’s when the Christine B. Foundation (CBF) steps in.

CBF is a Maine-based nonprofit ensuring individuals facing cancer have access to nutrition support throughout treatment and recovery. Through partnerships with healthcare providers, patients are directly connected to healthy food, nutrition education, and a supportive community at their first treatment, nourishing hope for them and their families.

Powered by two staff members and more than 100 volunteers, CBF served nearly 1,600 individuals across eight counties in 2025. Donors and volunteers fund 100% of program costs, enabling care delivery through strong community and healthcare partnerships.

CBF improves patient outcomes and quality of life through research and direct service, including home-delivered medically tailored groceries, dietitian counseling, and produce prescriptions, reducing the financial and nutritional burdens of cancer.

Founded in 2014, CBF continues to expand its reach across Maine while growing to meet increasing need.
