UMEM offers a variety of community outreach programs. During the summer, volunteer work teams provide labor, materials and lots of love through UMEM’s housing repair/maintenance program for clients in need. Thrift Stores and Food Cupboards in Salem and Solon, Maine offers clothing, food and nutrition services, and a crafters’ co-op year round. UMEM also provides home heating-fuel assistance, youth services, and emergency response ministry for victims of fire, abuse and displacement.
