Come be a part of the community effort and help get material essentials into the hands and homes of those who need them most.
Together, we sort and organize donations and shop the space to fulfill requests.
The requests we fill come from care providers statewide on behalf of those they support. Volunteers shop the space and assemble packages that providers pick up & deliver to individuals and families in all corners of Maine.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO COME IN & HELP.
Training is quick & easy and will take place on-site the day of your first shift.
