Season's Greetings!

Sharon AbramsThis holiday season we are extremely grateful to have such great employees and volunteers that have helped with our annual Christmas Program.  This year, we are excited by the number of online donations through our website. Thank you to everyone for their continued support as we improve the lives of children in Maine.

In this edition of our monthly e-newsletter, I would like to recognize the outstanding support from the students at Thomas College for helping our program this year when we were thrown a "curve ball" and needed help in a hurry. Learn how the baseball team and other students from Thomas College helped us by clicking the heartwarming story below.

   Happy Holidays from all of us at MCH!
 
Sincerely,
