All In Maine is an Organization in Dexter that helps anyone that needs help, they just need to ask us! Nothing is to small or big, if they don't ask us, we do not know if we can steer them in the right direction. If we can not, we will give them all we can and then we will give them all the information and resources we have. We go into the heart of Bangor to Tent City and The River, where people
do not want to go because they believe these people are dangerous criminals or drug addicts. This is where the less fortunate have ended up on hard times living with just the things on there back. We bring in clothes, blankets, hand & foot warmers, plastic silver wear, food, bag lunches, hats & mittens, thermals, hygiene products, propane stoves for them to cook on, tarps, tents, air mattresses and animal food because YES, they have four legged children 🐕that need to eat to and they could not part with them when they lost there homes...could you? Sometimes these animals are the only thing they have left that hasn't given up on them and love them unconditionally and truthfully I have seen this they give the animals the last bit of food they have left and they go without. We also take down requests for them if there is something they need and look for the items and ask around. Somedays someone just needs a cigarette, or a ride, there laundry washed or even just someone to talk to! Right now we are working on the kind donations of people around our area and our own money only. As well as local food banks. All In Maine DOES NOT JUDGE as neither Mark Tasker or I can. We both are recovering addicts and have over 20 years sober between us. We understand every situation as we have personally lived it. Nothing amazes, scares, discourages or makes us cast an opinion on anyone. Anything you can donate will go to an amazing cause and help hundreds of people. We have really only been doing this seriously since mid to late 2022 and we have already helped get 58 people in recovery and back to living a normal, healthy, happy life and still check in with them all daily. We take all household items for these individuals and store them away for them so we have them on hand when they make that move into there own stable place. Weekly we help anywhere from 20 to 150, really depends on the weather and how many come out to our tables. We are on a first name basis with everyone we help and they don't mind us showing people what we do with our donations and that they are going to a good cause as they appreciate everything beyond words can express. They are just happy that we dare to go into their stomping grounds as strangers and are willing to help them out because and yes... there are a lot of services in Bangor for the less fortunate but all of these people do not drive, they can not get to the warming stations and honestly people do not know how to access these services. We make it convenient for them by bringing it to them and just simply asking there needs. Please call Christina Belair at (207) 270-2077 or Mark Tasker at (207)364-3679 with any donations or if you know anyone that needs our help. It's what fulfills our lives and makes us appreciate our family, the simple things we have and each other. Also it is what makes us excited to open our eyes every morning knowing we get to make that that one small difference that will change someone's life, that you really honestly didn't think you did anything at all but beyond proud of them for letting you take that extremely scary, unfamiliar step with them. Thank you for taking the time to read this post and pass on our mission.
