During this unprecedented time, Midcoast Maine Community Action continues to build better lives for stronger communities. Below is a brief overview of our operations across several of our key programs.
All MMCA visitors, staff and tenants must conduct a daily health check and abide by our health and safety protocols before entering one of our facilities.
Head Start and Early Head Start
MMCA’s Head Start classrooms re-opened on September 1, 2020. To contact our Head Start program email hsrecruitment@mmcacorp.org or call 207-442-7963.
Emergency Services
MMCA is providing services to families that qualify for heating assistance, emergency utility support, rent relief and security deposit assistance. In some locations, we are able to assist clients with obtaining essential items needed for daily living.
Emergency Services staff also help to coordinate housing assistance for homeless, at-risk individuals, and families by providing referrals and access to emergency funds that are available to residents of northern Cumberland, Sagadahoc and Lincoln counties. We also provide counseling services, referrals, advocacy, budgeting assistance, and daily living emergency services.
If you are needing assistance through Emergency Services you can reach LeeAnna at (207) 442-7963 and choose option 4 or email leeanna.newell@mmcacorp.org.
