✨ Community generosity is already helping us prepare for the holiday season!

We’re so grateful to Kennebec Behavioral Health for collecting toys and winter essentials through our Christmas in July campaign. Your team helped gather donations that will become part of care packages for children and teens served through our Christmas / Winter Essentials Program.

It takes a community to make the holidays brighter, and we’re thankful to have partners like you helping make sure children and teens feel supported, cared for, and remembered this season.

🎁 The giving season is already underway at Maine Children’s Home!

We had a wonderful turnout at our volunteer orientation for the Christmas / Winter Essentials Program. Both new and returning volunteers joined us to learn how we prepare care packages filled with winter clothing, hygiene items, and gifts for children and teens across Maine.

And this is just the beginning! ❤️ We’re looking for volunteers now through December to help make sure children and teens have what they need to feel cared for and remembered this holiday season.

A huge thank you to Infinity Skin Care for hosting a diaper drive to support our Journey Program! Together with your generous clients, you collected 22 packages of diapers (that’s 704 diapers!) for young parents who are just beginning their journeys with their babies.
