2021 Annual Appeal

Anxiety is up and school grades are down. Kids are lonely, hungry and isolated. The youth who came of age at the time of World War I were called “the Lost Generation.” Will this generation also be “lost”?

Last year your generosity made a difference in the lives of kids, but the crisis isn’t over yet. Please continue to donate to the Game Loft/I Know ME program. Your financial gift can help overcome this crisis.

If you’d like to make a donation to help the Game Loft continue to feed, mentor, and provide life-changing opportunities for social connections, please visit our Donate page or mail your check made payable to the Game Loft to: 78A Main St.; Belfast, ME 04915.

Progress as of March 9, 2022:

$43,761!
