It is my pleasure to kick off this year's Maine State Employees Combined Charitable Appeal (MSECCA) fundraising campaign with Department of Administrative and Financial Services Commissioner Kirsten Figueroa!
I am continually inspired by the generosity of state employees who step up to support causes that make a real difference in our communities. Your involvement in MSECCA sends a powerful message to all Maine people that you care about their well-being.
Last year, 1,500 donors like you contributed across 29 State agencies to raise more than $470,000. This year, we've set an ambitious goal to raise $515,000 for vital charities across Maine. These funds will help ensure that homebound seniors have regular warm meals and wellness checks, that children have access to quality after-school programs while their parents are working, and that warming shelters can remain open to protect our most vulnerable citizens during the coldest months of the year.
For this year's MSECCA campaign, we are particularly focused on supporting families across Maine who struggle to pay for essentials, like housing, child care, food and transportation.
The simplest way to help our friends, our family, and our fellow Mainers to make ends meet is to set up a payroll contribution through the MSECCA campaign. You can make your commitment online by visiting https://www.maine.gov/msecca/.
It's time to rally once again, contributing what we can, and encouraging our colleagues to do the same. Remember, donations are tax-deductible, and you have a wide range of charities to choose from. Just $52 annually ($1 per week) would pay for 156 meals at a local food bank. A donation of $20 per week, or $1,040 annually, would pay for approximately 30 rides to life-saving dialysis treatments for someone in need.
Since 1996, state employees have contributed more than $12 million through the MSECCA campaign, supporting causes that have profoundly impacted the lives of Maine people. As we kick off this year's campaign, the demand for our support is greater than ever. Will you join me in donating?
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your continued generosity and for your service on behalf of the State of Maine.
With gratitude,
Janet T. Mills
Governor
