Together, we can make a difference

On a daily basis, Maine Children’s Home (MCH) is asked this urgent question from a parent:

“How can I help my child feel safe, secure, and well supported?”

Thanks to the support of compassionate people like you, MCH has the expertise to help parents, caregivers, educators, and families of all kinds create more nurturing, structured, and supportive environments where children from adverse backgrounds can thrive.

Can we count on your continued support of our mission to build and strengthen families?
