Element 3 Church Dear Friends, Please accept our sincerest thanks for your generous contribution of $4,000.00 to the Mid-Maine Homeless Shelter. With your help, we will continue to provide a warm, welcoming, and safe environment for our guests during their stay at the shelter. It is always our goal to also provide the necessary help and resources for our guests to reestablish their independence and get a fresh start in life. In 2008, 23 served over 500 adults, 200 children and 13,000 meals. The Mid-Maine Homeless Shelter is a non-profit organization committed to serving the needs of homeless and displaced persons. It is supported by the donations of Churches, individuals, Public Service Groups, and businesses in central Maine. The Shelter first opened on November 26, 1990, in the Notre Dame Christian Awareness Center at 110 Silver Street as the temporary, 6-bed Interfaith Emergency Shelter. Eleven months later, a permanent home was located on 28 Ticonic Street. In 1994, a two-floor, 12-foot by 16 foot extension was added to provide office space and relieve some of the over-crowding. In November of 1996, a family unit was added downstairs so that the families could remain together. For more information please visit our website www.ShelterMe.org. It is our challenge to provide emergency shelter in central Maine for our homeless neighbors and families. It is our hope to build a new shelter in the near future to accommodate the increasing homeless population. Thank you again for your generosity. Sincerely, Mike Marston
