Charitable Giving

Contributing to our local communities is an integral part of who we are!

About

Throughout the company’s evolution, a sense of Community has always been a part of its core values. Contributing to our local communities is an integral part of the culture of Stonewall Kitchen. We value the town of York, Maine, where our headquarters are located, and the surrounding seacoast area, which has been supportive of our business from the start. We are also active in the communities of the other east-coast towns where our retail stores are located.

Our mission is to support charitable organizations in our communities that focus on our pillars of giving: LGBTQ+, Cancer, Families in Crisis, Food Insecurity and Local Community.

In the last decade we donated 1.1 million dollars in food and financial grant contributions to community organizations including the following: The New Hampshire Food Bank, The Table of Plenty, Camp Sunshine, Animal Welfare Society, American Heart Association, Angel Flight NE, and The York Parks and Recreation Summer Camp Program.
