It was a beautiful morning for a big check delivery! We recently had the opportunity to walk over to the offices of our friends at A Place to Start, located just a few feet down the road from our Operations Center in Kennebunk.

For over 10 years, A Place to Start has provided hope, help and guidance to family caregivers and their loved ones living with Alzheimer's - all at no cost to those seeking assistance. Our recent grant, awarded through our Huntington Common Charitable Fund, will allow them to add a cognitive assessment at the point of intake for the individuals and families they serve. This will play a critical role in early identification of cognitive changes and facilitating timely referrals for comprehensive diagnostic evaluation.

We are incredibly honored to have been selected by 100 Men Who Care Southern Maine as the recipient of their generous community donation.

A special thank you goes to Joe Rizzo, whose personal experience with our organization inspired him to nominate us. Joe shared his family's story with the group, and we are humbled that our mission was chosen by a unanimous vote of the membership.

This incredible gift of more than $9,000 will help us continue providing free programs, education, consultations, and support to local families navigating Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.

100 Men Who Care is proof that when individuals come together with a shared purpose, they can create an extraordinary impact in their community. If you're looking for a meaningful way to give back locally, we encourage you to learn more about their organization and consider becoming a member.

To Joe and every member of 100 Men Who Care—thank you for believing in our mission and helping us continue this important work. Together, we're making a difference for families who need it most. 💜
