Ways of Giving and the O'Brien Challenge

The deep roots and new growth reflected in this edition of Cobscook Currents only happen through the support and generosity of our celebrated circle of donors. Donations of any size support our work.

Here are a few simple ways to give:

  • Make an annual gift, with options for monthly or quarterly installments, by clicking here, or contact Alan Furth to discuss a gift and schedule that is right for you.

  • Invite people you know to join you as a CCLC supporter.

  • Introduce us to people who may be interested in learning more about our work.

  • Include CCLC in your planned giving by including us in your will or as a benefactor on retirement accounts, life insurance policies, bank or brokerage accounts, or Certificates of Deposit. You can also make a gift of property, including real estate or other marketable items.

We’re here to help and happy to discuss your goals. Please contact Alan Furth, CCLC Co-Founder, at (207) 733-2233 or by email. Thanks so much.

This van has been critical to the highly mobile nature of many of our programs since 2016 when we started leasing it for just $1 from Darling’s. When the lease was up this year, Darling’s decided to donate the van to us! Warm thanks to Darling’s for this generous donation.
