All donations are deductible for federal and state income tax purposes to the full extent provided by law. MEIRS will not sell or share its donors’ personal information with any other entity.

 Donate Items or Gift Cards

Because MEIRS works within a community new to the country, there is always a need for items necessary to supply new homes. We frequently need new or gently used furniture and household goods. Donations should be clean and ready for use. Because we have very limited storage space, please contact us at 207-782-0260 x112 so that we can ensure that donations can be placed directly in a home. We may need measurements for furniture because most housing in the area is old and has very narrow stairwells and doors.

Gift cards for grocery or general merchandise stores in the Lewiston/Auburn area are also appreciated.
