Help Us Help Montauk

At the heart of Montauk’s community support is you. Our impact depends on local involvement—whether through event participation, merchandise purchases, donations, or lending a hand at fundraisers.

We’re always planning and preparing for upcoming events, and your presence—and support—makes a difference. Whether you're interested in helping with raffle collections, the art auction, sponsorship outreach, early morning setup, judging, or providing food for volunteers, there are many meaningful ways to contribute.

The more we raise, the more we can give to local families facing urgent needs. Whether you're offering help or in need of it, there’s always a place for you in this effort.

Let us know if you'd like to get involved!
