How to Give

Our organization relies heavily on annual private donations to meet operating costs. In giving to Maine Children’s Home, you help us to continue providing high-quality services and programs to Maine’s most needy children and families.

What Your Donation Can Do:

• Ensure Maine children and youth in need have warm clothing to protect them during our harsh winters
• Enable young mothers to provide basic needs to their infants such as diapers, formula and bottles
• Give a young person who is pregnant or parenting the opportunity to earn their high school diploma and the guidance they need to become a more responsible parent
• Help make sure financially disadvantaged children throughout Maine receive gifts during the holiday months
