Greetings!
 Did you know November is National Adoption Month? For over 110 years, we have been providing adoptive families for children, both in the United States and most recently, internationally.
At the Maine Children's Home for Little Wanderers, we're proud to strengthen families and their children, instilling hope for the future and a better quality of life.
Of course, November also means the holidays are fast approaching! This year we're proud to continue our Red Stocking Program, to help children in Maine. Each year, the Christmas Program distributes boxes of gifts and clothing to approximately 1,600 financially disadvantaged children throughout the state. It is the only program of its kind that provides new toys, books, games and new, warm clothing to boys and girls throughout Maine.
We would like to thank all the people and
especially the volunteers that make the Christmas Program and all our programs possible.
Have a happy and safe holiday!
Sincerely,
Sharon Abrams, Executive Director
