Emergency Assistance Since 1915, the Maine Sea Coast Mission has provided emergency financial assistance to those who are in critical need. Over the years, we have provided tons of coal, cords of wood, rent, eye exams, car repairs, cars, blankets, plumbing repair, mortgage payments, gasoline, sewer and water bill assistance, food vouchers, electricity, gas and propane. Today, we provide emergency fuel assistance and refer individuals to our Mission programs or local agencies for additional resources. Low income families and the elderly are our target population.

The Mission also links homeowners to the housing repair ministry for weatherization of their houses and trailers to reduce future fuel costs. Experts estimate that one dollar spent on weatherization provides a three dollar savings in fuel costs.

The Mission works with other churches and agencies providing assistance to most effectively meets the needs of people living in poverty during this fuel crisis.

Other agencies that can provide assistance include the Maine Department of Health and Human Services and the Washington Hancock Community Agency.
