The Saturdays we show up for

Fishing families, food pantries, high school drivers and little league teams. The agency's name is on a lot of jerseys, and our staff are at a lot of games.

Programs

Four commitments we renew every year

Staff choose the causes, the agency matches the time. Figures below are sample figures for this demo.

Casco Bay fishing families fund

Since 1988 the agency has matched donations to a fund that helps families of commercial fishermen lost or injured at sea.

$212,400 raised (sample)

Saturday food drives

Staff run monthly food drives with the Preble Street pantry and deliver to seniors in Portland and Westbrook.

1,940 volunteer hours in 2025

Teen driver nights

Free evening sessions at Portland and South Portland high schools on winter driving, phones and what an accident really costs.

38 sessions since 2019

Youth sports sponsorships

Jerseys, field fees and snack money for little league, hockey and sailing programs across Cumberland County.

22 teams this season

When a boat does not come home, the whole harbor feels it. The fund was the least we could do in 1988, and it still is.

We review sponsorship and volunteer requests every quarter. Tell us about your team, event or nonprofit.

Insurance from neighbors, not a call center

Tell us what you need to protect. A licensed agent on Fore Street shops it, explains it, and sends a clear side-by-side, usually within one business day.

No obligation. Licensed agents. Coverage subject to policy terms.
