United Way of Kennebec Valley

Twelve Gardiner residents were displaced, many downtown businesses had to be shut down or were damaged and four historic downtown buildings were severely damaged during a large fire on Thursday evening. 

This means that people and businesses in our community need YOUR help. They need to find a place to live, and they need help to start rebuilding their lives and careers. Please consider a donation to the fund that will help the displaced directly. Funds will be managed by United Way of Kennebec Valley and a City of Gardiner committee.

*All donations are tax deductible, as donations to the United Way of Kennebec Valley*

If you would like to donate via cash or check, you can drop it off or send it to the United Way office:
121 Commercial Street, Augusta, ME 04330

If you have questions, feel free to contact United Way of Kennebec Valley or the City of Gardiner.

Twenty-seven Augusta residents are now homeless, due to an early morning fire in an 18-unit apartment building at 36 Northern Avenue. Fire and rescue teams from Augusta, Togus, Gardiner, Winthrop, Chelsea and Vassalboro, as well as law enforcement were on the scene promptly and assisted all residents in successfully escaping the 3-alarm fire, which left the building a total loss.

This means that 27 people in our community need YOUR help. They need to find a place to live, and they need help to start rebuilding their lives. Please consider a donation to the fund that will help the displaced directly. Funds will be managed by United Way of Kennebec Valley and a committee which includes The American Red Cross of Maine. 

If you have questions, feel free to contact United Way of Kennebec Valley.
