Annual Appeal 2022

Our Annual Appeal — which extends through our entire fiscal year, January to December — provides vital support to BFS and its programs.

In 2022, we’re raising $17,000 from 170 contributors, and we hope that at least 17 of those donors will choose to make a monthly gift.

Track our progress on the disco balls, below!

Donating to BFS is easy. Checks don’t cost us fees ~ Belfast Flying Shoes, 93 Kaler Rd., Belfast, ME 04915 ~ and we also welcome both one-time gifts and recurring monthly gifts via this online button:
