Our causes
Our mission is to make it easy to buy, cook, and enjoy seafood at home. Giving back extends that mission: helping more people access nutritious food and supporting the fishing families and coastal communities behind it.
Thank you to the customers who choose to give. Our giving program has recorded donations supporting seven nonprofits, from Maine’s lobster community to hunger relief.

How to take part
Giving is always your choice. Customer donations are additional contributions; a seafood purchase alone does not automatically create a donation.
Supporting our fishermen
NEFSA brings New England’s fishing community together to support fisheries stewardship and the future of working fishermen. Its commitment to the people who harvest our seafood connects directly to our Maine roots.
Maine Lobster Now has supported NEFSA as a business member, and we’re renewing our membership to continue that support.
You can help, too. Donate directly to NEFSA or become a member to support its work for New England’s fishing communities.
Support for NEFSA is separate from our checkout giving program and the ShoppingGives figures above.
Beyond checkout
