Real change takes time - and consistency.
That’s why we’re inviting you to join the Builder’s Team, a community of monthly donors who power Mission at the Eastward all year long.

By giving every month, Builder’s Team members ensure that no neighbor is left behind, whether it’s the middle of a Maine winter or the height of summer build season.

🏡 Why Give Monthly?

MATE’s programs fight housing insecurity and build stronger communities across Central Western Maine through:

Home Repairs for low-income residents in unsafe living conditions
Transitional Housing for individuals and families facing homelessness or crisis
Youth Engagement through our MATE Youth Connection, inspiring the next generation of servant leaders

Your monthly support provides predictable, stable funding for these life-changing ministries. It allows us to say “yes” more often and respond more quickly when urgent needs arise.

🌱 Your Impact Grows Each Month

✅ $10/MONTH ($120 ANNUALLY) helps us to acquire basic hardware and building supplies
✅ $25/MONTH ($300 ANNUALLY) enables us to install an energy efficient window to help keep homes warmer in the cold winter months
✅ $50/MONTH ($600 ANNUALLY) purchases roofing materials to address leaks and structural issues to keep houses dry and healthy
✅ $75/MONTH ($900 ANNUALLY) enables us to build and ADA wheelchair ramp, ensuring accessibility for elderly homeowners or others with mobility challenges

🧱 Builder’s Team = Foundation of Hope

As a monthly donor, you become part of a growing team committed to long-term solutions. You’ll receive regular updates, stories of impact, and opportunities to deepen your connection with the work you’re supporting.

“I am thrilled to be part of the new MATE recurring gifts program. My gifts when joined with others, directly fight housing insecurity and help many people get the home repairs they need but can’t afford. Gifts like mine will help MATE to have great financial stability and will give the organization the ability to buy building supplies in bulk, saving money so we can better serve more homeowners with repairs for safe, healthy, warm homes. Together, our collective gifts will have a big impact! Thanks, MATE for this wonderful opportunity to be part of The Builder’s Team!
-Rev. Karen Hagy

In addition, we are so grateful for our future members of The Builder’s Team that shortly after joining, you will receive a gift that expresses our gratitude. You will also be entered into a raffle to win an occasional surprise just for The Builder’s Team and your name will also be listed in our December e-newsletter. Additional perks will bubble up too, so stay tuned!
