Our Chief Operations Officer handles logistics, finances, ordering and inventory to ensure we have access to the most highly needed resources when they’re requested. Our Communications Director works to drive in-kind donations, engage with the community, build partnerships and advocate for the needs of Mainers. How much money of the money donated is used to pay employees? We have two paid employees. We work with people leaving domestic violence, people leaving incarceration, often immediately becoming homeless, veterans, asylum seekers, refugees, families, kids and any individual in need of the items we collect. Almost every family we are connected to is struggling to afford cleaning supplies, toiletries, and clothes for their growing kids, let alone art supplies, toys, children’s books, diapers, wipes, winter gear, sunscreen, tick spray etc. Our focus now is helping families and individuals, both housed and unhoused, Mainer or immigrant throughout Maine. That’s what initially pulled at our hearts but soon we realized that the needs of asylum seeking mothers in Maine were the same basic needs that so many individuals and families had. Who do you help? Our focus began in 2018 with asylum seeking mothers raising young children in a new country. Learn more about our process and other resources throughout the state here. How do you reach people who are going without these basics? We work with social service professionals, teachers and home health nurses.
