Help DCP to Help Others

DCP brings community resources together to help people in Washington and Hancock counties achieve self-sufficiency and a better quality of life. Our Housing department helps people maintain safe, affordable, energy-efficient housing. Our Transportation department staff travels over a million miles each year, helping people get to medical appointments, senior food programs and other important services.  Friendship Cottage in Blue Hill offers an Adult Day Service Program. Our Energy Services department provides a variety of services to prevent hunger, hypothermia, and homelessness. At Home provides services to assist older adults aging in place. Everybody Eats! provides a free community meal each week to Ellsworth area residents. Our Early Care and Education programs provides Head Start, Early Head Start, Pre-K and Childcare services to local families. Our Supportive Services department provides support to individuals and families working to make changes in their lives.  Nurse Bridging and Maternal and Child Health services provide caring nurse support to families with infants and small children.
