How You Can Help

 

 

Why Give to COS?

For over 30 years, COS has provided food, fuel, and financial help to our neighbors from Arundel, Kennebunk, and Kennebunkport in their time of need. COS would not exist if it were not for people like you who give generously to our organization. We are so grateful for the support from our community as the needs of our neighbors continue to grow. COS has helped significantly more of our neighbors the last couple years, particularly with food and financial help. We need your help now more than ever.

The severity and the scope of this situation is not always apparent to locals and seasonal residents, but they indeed do exist. COS is committed to helping make the need known and to share with you how your contributions can help. Giving back to your community is as easy as 1-2-3. Here’s how:

1. Food Drives: Organize and hold food drives through your business, organization, neighbors, church, or family. Call the Food Pantry at 207-985-3844 or email our Food Drive Coordinator at fooddrives@coskennebunks.org for more info

2. Donate Funds: One-time or reoccurring donations can be made easily online at cos.networkforgood.com 

Checks payable to “COS” can be mailed to: PO Box 1175, Kennebunk, ME  04043 

Donated funds often enable COS to purchase food at discounted or wholesale prices. It also allows us to pay for non-food items such as fuel and specific needs for our neighbors.

COS is a local 501(c)3 charitable organization under the Internal Revenue Code, and as such, all cash donations are fully tax deductible. Thank you so much!

3. Volunteer Time: We regularly need volunteers to staff our food pantry, food drives, special events, etc. If you are willing to help serve with your time and give back to the community in this way, please go to our COS Volunteer Website and sign up with our organization.
