Striving to build a community where everyone helps and no one goes without.
The basic needs we are focused on meeting are needs that we all share, as human beings.
We support long time Maine families, newly arrived immigrant families, those fleeing domestic violence, those leaving incarceration, those in recovery, veterans, and individuals and families who are unhoused, newly housed or experiencing financial hardship.
We provide essentials so individuals & families can focus on fulfilling and pursuing higher needs.
We partner with caseworkers, teachers & street outreach teams to learn the needs of people in Maine. We also invite people in to volunteer and to give what they can to support our shared community.
818,850

Your effort matters.
We aim to inspire you to dig in, get involved, get creative and integrate supporting others into your daily life.
