We are deeply grateful to the Knights of Columbus for their recent donation to the Maine Resiliency Center. Their support comes at a time when it is both needed and meaningful. While the immediate aftermath of 10/25/2023 has passed, the impacts of trauma and grief continue for many. The Knights of Columbus were especially thoughtful in recognizing this reality—that while focus on the incident and donations can diminish over time, the need for recovery, stability, and ongoing support does not.

Their contribution helps ensure that we can continue providing trauma-informed services and support for those who continue to navigate the lasting impacts of mass violence.

We are sincerely thankful for their compassion, their awareness of long-term recovery needs, and their commitment to standing with victims and survivors well beyond the immediate crisis.

We had such a wonderful time this weekend visiting Sunflower Farm Creamery! 🐐

Getting to play with the baby goats was easily the highlight of our day. The farm is such a welcoming place, and we’re so grateful to everyone there for sharing it with our community.

If you’re looking for a fun family outing, this is absolutely worth a visit! The farm is open to the public for FREE visiting on Saturdays from 11am–5pm, May 23rd through October 31st.

They also offer educational farm workshops, goat yoga, and have a farm store with local goodies.

Thank you again, Sunflower Farm Creamery, for such a memorable experience. We can’t wait to come back! 🌻💛

Looking for something to do this weekend? 🌱💜

The 🤟🏽Gardens volunteers will be spending Saturday caring for the beautiful spaces planted last fall!

Back in October 2025, nearly 50 volunteers came together to plant 1,500 bulbs and more than 100 pollinator-friendly plants at Oxford & Cross Streets in Lewiston and at Bonney Park in Auburn. Now, volunteers are coming together again to help the gardens continue to grow and thrive.

Whether you can stop by for an hour or spend the whole day there, all are welcome! 🌼
