Homelessness
Over 4,400 are experiencing homelessness in Maine — that’s around 4% of Mainers!
There are many reasons people become homeless — unexpected life events, mental health, tragedy…
Good Helper Foundation seeks to address homelessness at its roots, with sustainable programs that not only find people homes, but also sustain themselves in the future.
Food Insecurity
Almost 180,000 people struggle with food insecurity in Maine.
Inflation and surging food prices in recent years have caught many off guard.
Good Helper Foundation provides food programs that connect people with supplemental assistance, stock community food pantries, and distribute fresh groceries to those who need it.

Sadly, that’s not the case.
Throughout its work, Good Helper Foundation hears many stories of inequality, discrimination, and injustice. We strive to address these issues through education and advoacy throughout our community.
