Maine Needs is striving to build a community where everyone helps out and no one goes without.
Every week, we receive 500-700 requests from caseworkers, teachers, nurses and street outreach teams for basic material needs, such as; sneakers, boots, clothing that fits, outdoor gear, socks, underwear, diapers, bedding, towels, kitchen basics, baby gear, tents, sleeping bags, soap, deodorant and cleaning products. These items reach individuals and families all over Maine that are going without these essential needs.
We are a collective of over 2500 volunteers each year and over 50,000 community followers supporting the work of 415 providers from 125 organizations.
We ask that you give what you can because it makes a huge difference when everyone gives what they can.
