More than 55,000 older Mainers are facing growing uncertainty about how they’ll put food on the table. At Southern Maine Agency on Aging, we see every day how food insecurity impacts our neighbors. We make sure no one is forgotten. Here in Maine, we’ve always looked out for one another. When times get tough, Mainers show up — because that’s who we are. Right now, our community needs that spirit more than ever. If you’re able, please consider helping: https://www.smaaa.org/support-smaa/donate/ (fb)

We were thrilled to welcome Representative Ellie Sato from Gorham to our new Portland Center at 2320 Congress St. today! Ellie toured the space with our CEO, Megan Walton, board member Jim Clark, and John Holland—longtime Medicare volunteer, former board member, and fellow Gorham resident. It was a wonderful visit filled with great conversation about community, connection, and care. We appreciated hearing her perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing older Mainers, and her thoughtful ideas on how we can support one another’s goals and advance our mission. We look forward to working together to raise awareness of our programs and resources, including our incredible Resource Specialists who support older Mainers and their caregivers every day. We’re so grateful to Representative Sato for all she does for her community—and for taking the time to connect with ours. 💚 (fb)
