Donate to the Somali Bantu Community Association

Every contribution, whether time or money, supports the success of this community. We are so grateful for your generosity.

We offer all of our services freely and your donation really makes a difference. Each monetary gift touches the lives of community members in many ways. Your gift could mean paper and markers for a child to use during Kasheekee programming or the ability of a cooperative group of farmers to grow a diverse variety of organic seeds to feed their family. It might mean we are able to drill a well so that farmers can irrigate their subsistence and commercial crops – increasing a family’s food security and economic independence.

Each donation is an investment in this refugee community – a recognition of the importance of caring for one another and an assurance that these families are welcome here in Maine. We are so grateful for your generosity and the ways it ripples out to create happiness, health, and well-being for this community.

Immigrant Farmer Fund

In March 2025, the federal government announced the termination of Local Food Purchase Assistance (LFPA), a program that supported historically underserved farmers by distributing thousands of pounds of produce to low-income communities and schools.

In the face of increasing challenges Cultivating Community, New Roots Cooperative Farm, and Somali Bantu Community Association’s Liberation Farms are standing together to support immigrant and BIPOC farmers who have been and are systematically excluded from federal resources and access to food and land. Please join us in supporting local food!

Farm to Neighbor

Farm to Neighbor’s mission is to expand local food access to vulnerable people, support underserved and BIPOC farmers, and contribute to a resilient agricultural economy and community. The Farm to Neighbor distribution partners represent diverse farming community stakeholders that are committed to working collaboratively to inform a Statewide lens on equitable and culturally important local food access in Maine.
