Christmas “shoppers” make donations to a variety of community good causes instead of knick-knack Christmas presents to family and friends.  Contact us and we will provide you with an 'alternate'  gift card and envelope for you to use as the gift.

Habitat for Humanity
 

For over 20 years, Habitat for Humanity in York County has been helping low-income families obtain affordable housing. The three legs of support for this program are land, volunteers and funds. The Church on the Cape has been an ever-increasing and vital part of this Christian outreach through our gifts, our prayers, and our participation. Gifts made to Habitat will help meet the objective of increasing the number of much needed homes built each year from a historical average of one per year to a targeted 2 to 3 homes per year.   â€‹Donate now through Gifts of Love

Kennebunkport Public Health Emergency Fuel Assistance 
 

This program provides for fuel need requests during the winter. The fuel needs were funded solely by donations and no one is denied assistance. The Public Health Department meets every emergency request immediately. We are expecting a drastic increase in the number of families who will need assistance this winter. The rising costs for fuel, food and housing will greatly strain the very tight budgets of our seniors and working low-income families.
