Capital Campaign The Maine Sea Coast Mission has launched a $12 million Centennial Campaign to expand and sustain its essential services to the children and families of Downeast Maine.
For 100 years we have provided health, spiritual, and emotional care to the people who live on the islands and coastal areas. As we enter our second century, we are determined to continue to meet the changing needs of the people we serve—to bring hope to those in want.

Our neighbors Downeast are struggling with dwindling economic resources, a lack of affordable housing, marginal health insurance or none at all, minimal access to medical and geriatric care, alcohol and drug abuse, and teen pregnancy and suicide. They need hope now more than ever, and our mission remains unwavering. We will continue to provide spiritual, emotional, and practical support to the people we serve. But today we face new challenges in our coastal and island communities, and we are designing new programs to address these needs.

The Mission’s service area extends for over 300 miles, from Monhegan and the islands of Penobscot Bay to the shores of Washington County that stretch northeastward to Canada. We have developed strong, innovative programs to address not only immediate concerns, but also the root causes of long term problems that threaten the survival of our island and rural coastal communities. This Campaign will fund five important initiatives designed to respond to critical human needs: three to strengthen and support year-round island communities and two to encourage and educate young people in coastal Downeast Maine.
