Ogunquit Spirit of Giving

Each holiday season, Ogunquit’s generosity shines bright through the Ogunquit Spirit of Giving. Launched in 2005 by a small group of local residents, the initiative has grown into a well-organized program that delivers holiday gifts to hundreds of children across Maine.

In collaboration with

Adoptive and Foster Families of Maine

and the

Frannie Peabody Center

, the Ogunquit Spirit of Giving team identifies children who would benefit from a little extra holiday joy.

This year, donors register to provide gifts, and the organization thoughtfully handles the matching process, pairing each pledge with a child’s wish list. Donors simply register at

ogunquitgiving.com

, choose how many children they wish to support, and shop within a recommended budget of $50–$75 per child.

The result is a holiday tradition defined by intention, warmth, and meaningful giving.

The holiday gift drop-off party offers a chance for volunteers and donors to come together and celebrate the season of giving. This year’s celebration will be held on Sunday, December 7th, from 4–6 PM at Mainestreet Ogunquit.

Guests arrive with their unwrapped gifts and are welcomed into a warm celebration with music, light bites, and holiday cheer.

For those unable to attend, a designated drop-off box at Mainestreet Ogunquit is available during business hours.

As the evening concludes, volunteers organize and load the collected gifts into waiting vans, ensuring each gift is delivered to children throughout the state by Christmas.

Supporting the Ogunquit Spirit of Giving is simple, impactful, and deeply appreciated. Visit

to sign up, choose the number of children you wish to support, and bring your unwrapped gifts to the drop-off party or to Mainestreet Ogunquit's drop-off box beforehand.

Join in this holiday season and make a real impact. Get involved with Ogunquit Spirit of Giving to bring joy directly to Maine children in need.
