Support

We are so grateful for the support from our community. We recognize that many of you have been involved and are aware of the needs here in the Kennebunks, but we have been told regularly by locals as well as seasonal residents who find out about the scope of the needs in this area that they never realized the severity of the situation and would have helped more and would have helped sooner if they had just known. So we are committed to helping make the need known and to share with you how you can help. Giving back to our community is as easy as 1-2-3

1. Food

Since one of the original and continued core services we offer is the delivery of non-perishable food to those in need of meals, we are grateful for the many food drives and organizations that give regularly at local collection points. So please know that whether you work for an organization who wants to organize a food drive or collect food on a regular basis, we can help accommodate your collection and even pick up the items from your location. We appreciate food donations as they go a long way to helping the basic needs of our clients. If you are interested in having a food drive, please contact us at fooddrives@coskennebunks.org

2. Funds

Did you know that monetary donations go much further than food donations? It’s because as an organization, we can obtain most food just for the cost of the freight or at wholesale cost. It also allows us to pay for non-food items such as fuel assistance and specific needs programs.
