Join us in making a difference.

Generous financial contributions from our community have allowed Sexual Assault Response Services of Southern Maine (SARSSM) to support those affected by sexual harassment, sexual abuse, sexual assault, and trafficking in York and Cumberland Counties since 1973.  We continue to rely on your support.
 
As we continue to provide crisis and support services throughout COVID-19, community support is more important than ever.  For those who are able to give during this time, we would welcome your donations. Every little bit makes a difference, and will help us to overcome the unique financial challenges that we face in light of the pandemic.
 
SARSSM is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, and your donation to our nonprofit is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Our Tax ID number is: 01-0343943.
