As one of Maine's largest and most trusted auto dealers, Darling's makes a conscious effort to use our business to be able to give back, both as a company and through each and every one of our employees, so that we can make a true difference in our local communities.

We're honored to be able to support the nonprofits and organizations that we work with.  We have had the pleasure of hosting large events for organizations like the United Way, held fundraisers for nonprofits like Susan G. Komen, made contributions to many smaller organizations like local recreation leagues, supported our employees as they volunteer their time and efforts in countless ways, and most recently, have built and developed Darling's Ice Cream for a Cause, our own ice cream truck that provides free ice cream for voluntary donations for any cause, large or small.

If you're interested in requesting our support, please email us at feedback@darlings.com.  If you are interested in having our ice cream truck attend your event, please visit www.icecreamforacause.com
