Participating organizations work collaboratively and with the support of area businesses, to address pressing social needs in their communities, including:
Autism and other disabilities, cancer, hunger, poverty, veterans, suicide prevention, domestic abuse, substance abuse, mental health, youth sports, literacy, crisis and other charitable needs traditionally met in communities throughout Maine.
