Fundraising events/Opportunities

Staff and private funders have contributed over the years to our patient “Sunshine Fund.” These funds allow our staff to assist patients with purchasing prescriptions, over the counter medications, and basic necessities such as socks or a meal. The need for assistance has continued to grow over the years and our fund is in need of replenishment. Ultimately, your donation to Greater Portland Health supports the well-being of our entire community. Your donation can be made online at www.greaterportlandhealth.org/donate.
