Good Shepherd Food Bank has emergency grants up to $5k per year for things exactly like this.

Thank you. I believe that we already have a grant from them this year. I will investigate.

You’re welcome. They have four grants programs now so it could be different. This program was just released maybe two months ago. I would also recommend signing up for the Maine Philanthropy mailing list or even getting a membership for $60. They realize the next three months of foundations grant opportunities each month and they also have a directory of local grant makers and you can get free online access to the Foundation Directory Online.

Sewall foundation may also be a good place to check. And I think someone else mentioned contacting local banks. Find their community engagement director on linked in and ask for a meeting to learn more about their work.
