KENNEBUNK, Maine – With a pandemic that raged through 2020, Community Outreach Services found itself busier than ever this year.
How much so? The organization – which assists people in Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Arundel with food, fuel and other essentials – outgrew its headquarters at St. Martha’s Church on Portland Road and needed a new home in order to fulfill its mission.
“When the pandemic first hit, I think the first challenge was making sure we had a space that was big enough and strong enough to provide to our community in a time of rapid growing need,” Michelle Allen, the organization’s development director, said during a recent interview.
