Catholic Charities Maine

A heartfelt thank you to Sew Last Saturday—a chapter of the Pine Tree Quilters Guild—for donating more of their gorgeous quilts to SEARCH, supporting older adults in Maine with comfort, dignity, and a reminder that their community cares.

Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
We stand with the Maine Council for Elder Abuse Prevention and advocates across the state in calling attention to the mistreatment of older adults — and the steps we can all take to stop it.
Through our Senior Services programs, we’re committed to offering connection, support, and resources that help keep older Mainers safe.
Together, we can build a safer, more compassionate Maine.

Food insecurity is worse than it was at the height of the pandemic, and more families are struggling to put food on the table than at any point in recent years.

We’re feeling that surge daily — shelves emptying faster, more people asking for help, and far too many neighbors quietly going without meals.

Your Spring Appeal gift puts food directly into the hands of those who need it most. If you’re able, please give today:

The countdown is on — just two weeks until our FREE Senior Resource Fair in Lewiston!
Join us June 25th from 9–11am to explore senior services, meet local providers, and find the tools that bring comfort, care, and hope to the people you cherish.

Team CCM hit the pavement this weekend! Alyssa, Kirsten, and Brittiney crushed the Old Port 5K, and Jeff powered through the Half Marathon. Proud of this crew for showing up, giving it their all, and representing with heart!

One week from today, we join partners across Maine in recognizing World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
At Catholic Charities Maine, our senior programs work every day to support, protect, and uplift older adults. Raising awareness is one of the most powerful ways we can help prevent abuse and ensure every Mainer can age with dignity and safety.
