Giving opportunities
- KVCAP relies on community support to keep our programs fully funded. Private contributions directly strengthen the resources local families depend on to build lasting financial independence.
- Donors can make a one-time or recurring gift on our website: kvcap.org. Employer matching gifts, planned gifts and gifts of stock are always welcomed.
- Become a Community Investor! Sign up and receive a weekly email highlighting a specific need for a local neighbor when no other resource exists. KVCAP Community Investors are lifesavers, financially contributing to address situations that threaten an individual’s or family’s health or stability. Common requests are for car repairs to maintain employment and beds for seniors and people with disabilities.
To learn more about all our giving opportunities, please contact Andrea Pasco at andreap@kvcap.org or (207) 859-1630.
Volunteer opportunities
KVCAP is always seeking new Volunteer Drivers for our Transportation Department. Drivers are reimbursed for their mileage, bringing people to and from medical appointments. Our South End Teen Center in Waterville invites volunteers who are willing to dedicate their time engaging with members, sharing a talent or passion, or providing homework support. Our Social Services Department welcomes volunteers to help sort and package diaper donations and baby clothing.
