Community
Rooted in the Northeast. United by Community.
We’re proud of our strong local ties and deep commitment to community engagement. From partnering with organizations that share our values to supporting initiatives that reflect the heritage of Poland Spring, we celebrate the people and places that make the Northeast home.

Contributing to Communities
At Poland Spring, we believe in supporting the communities where we live and work. One of the ways we give back is through regular product donations, helping to meet local needs and strengthen our ties across the Northeast. In 2024, we donated more than 1.2 million bottles of water to organizations serving communities across Maine-part of our ongoing commitment of being there when it matters most.
Access to safe drinking water becomes even more critical during emergencies. That’s why we work with national partners like the American Red Cross, Convoy of Hope, World Central Kitchen, and Feeding America, while also supporting local organizations that respond to disasters, water safety issues, and other urgent situations.
Celebrating Local Connections
Poland Spring has proudly supported a variety of local charities, events, and initiatives that reflect our deep commitment to the communities we serve. These partnerships have helped us make a meaningful impact and build lasting relationships across the region.
Drive Fore Kids
Poland Spring was proud to support families across Maine as a Partner of the Drive Fore Kids celebrity golf tournament.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Dempsey Center and Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital - two incredible organizations that are making a difference in our communities.
Dempsey Challenge
Poland Spring has partnered with the Dempsey Center for years to keep Dempsey Challenge participants hydrated.
As the Official Water Sponsor of the Run, Walk & Ride event, we help bring this celebration to life in our Lewiston, Maine backyard-while the Dempsey Center helps ease the journey for those touched by cancer.
Joe Andruzzi Foundation
Poland Spring is honored to support the Joe Andruzzi Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing help, hope, and a reason to smile for New England cancer patients and their families.
Our donation contributes to their mission of offering financial assistance when it’s needed most, ensuring that those affected by cancer receive relief and can access medical treatment during challenging times.
Boston Children’s Hospital
Poland Spring is proud to support kids at Boston Children’s Hospital. Our contributions fuel lifesaving care, groundbreaking research and programs that keep families strong while their children fight illness.
Recently, our team had the opportunity to spend time with families whose children are receiving care – sharing Poland Spring® water, offering moments of connection, and learning more about the impactful working happening inside the hospital.
The Ecology School
The Ecology School is a nonprofit education center that transforms how people interact with each other and with our environment. We’re proud to support their mission through our partnership, because educating the next generation of environmental stewards starts with hands-on learning. Poland Spring and The Ecology School have a nearly 20-year relationship, working together to educate Mainers and students throughout the Northeast. With programs like The Teacher Institute, our local efforts will be expanded to students and teachers across the country.
Northeast roots and community-first values
The Poland Spring story began between approximately 10,000 years ago when the glaciers retreated from the ocean across what is now Maine Gulf of Maine. Over time, the sand and gravel aquifers filled with water, creating the same naturally occurring springs we all enjoy today.
Poland Spring has a strong track record of positively impacting our home communities and environments, alongside the local organizations we partner with. We help to protect local water sources and support local, state, and federal regulations that promote water equality.
