In 2023, COS served hundreds of families with food and fuel assistance. With demand expected to rise in 2025, this funding will directly support local families during their most challenging times, ensuring they have access to essential resources.
3.) Be part of a community that cares
"This matching gift challenge is a chance to come together as a community to bring help and hope to our neighbors," says Mark Jago, executive director of COS. "Your support now can make an extraordinary difference in the year ahead."
"This matching gift challenge is a wonderful opportunity to amplify our collective impact and support those in need," said Roth. "I'm proud to contribute to COS' mission and invite others to join us in creating meaningful change for our neighbors in Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Arundel."
4.) Maximize your impact with a tax deduction
Donations made before Dec. 31, 2024, are eligible for a 2024 tax deduction. Even if donations are made after that date, they will still be matched through Jan. 6, 2025, ensuring your support continues to make a difference.

About Community Outreach Services
Since 1990, Community Outreach Services has been extending a helping hand to our neighbors in the towns of Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Arundel who face challenges with food insecurities. Over the years, our program offerings have expanded to include fuel and specific needs assistance to continue to meet the growing needs of our community.
We currently serve several hundred of our neighbors at our food pantry in Kennebunk each month and that demand is now increasing considerably. We cannot do the work we do without the generous support of our community.
