COCOMAINE is all-volunteer, immigrant-founded and led organization. We care deeply about the wellbeing of our community and offer no-cost support to anyone who needs us. However, running an organization is not free. We still need to pay our rent and utilities, and for essential services and supplies like computers, software, printer ink, paper, and more.

Will YOU help us cover the essential cost of our services? Our office serves as a trusted space for immigrants navigating cultural differences and adjusting to life in Maine. It's essential that we keep our doors open and keep our community informed about the services available to them, including legal support, food, shelter, housing, medical care and transportation.

A gift of any size makes a big difference. Thank you SO MUCH for your support!
