🍂 A Tradition of Giving, Rooted in Community

Thanksgiving is a time to come together, share what we have, and care for one another. For the sixth year, Maine Community Integration (MCI) will continue this tradition by bringing warm meals and essential winter supplies to our unhoused neighbors and community members in need.

🧡 6th Annual Thanksgiving Feast
📍 Kennedy Park | Lewiston, Maine
📅 Thursday, November 26, 2026
🕛 12:00 PM

This annual tradition has been made possible through the generosity of the Town Fair Tire Foundation since 2020.
We are deeply grateful for their continued commitment to our community. Their generosity has helped us provide warm Thanksgiving meals and essential winter supplies, including hypothermia kits, to neighbors in need.

Community care is not a one-day act of kindness. It is a commitment we renew year after year.
Please help us spread the word. Everyone deserves a warm meal, dignity, and a place where they feel welcome.

Because warmth, dignity, and belonging should never be seasonal. 🍁

Beyond Awareness: Equipping Young Men with Knowledge, Confidence, and Agency
What happens when young men are given the space to ask difficult questions, challenge misconceptions, and engage in honest conversations about their health, identity, and future?
Maine Community Integration (MCI), in partnership with Rooted You Initiative (formerly Dhalinyaro Kings Collective), has engaged two cohorts of young men through nine three-hour weekend sessions.
Across 27 hours of engagement, participants explored reproductive health, mental well-being, healthy relationships, consent, personal responsibility, and informed decision-making in a culturally responsive, judgment-free environment.
Our next chapter expands into civic engagement and environmental stewardship, connecting personal well-being with community responsibility, leadership, and collective action.
This is more than education. It is a prevention-centered investment in young men's agency, belonging, and capacity to shape the communities they inherit.
Because empowering young men is not simply about preparing them for the future but recognizing their power to shape it today.
Rooted in connection. Inspired to grow.

💙💙💙 Lewiston Is Our Hope 💚💜“The City of Us”💚💜
Three years in the making, “Lewiston Is Our Hope" is more than a collective art installation.
it is a journey of healing, belonging, and reclaiming our shared humanity.
Led, facilitated, and supervised by Dr. Yun Loh, this three-year collective art-healing initiative has brought together community members, young and old, to transform individual experiences of grief, resilience, and hope into more than 400 pieces of wooden artwork, each contributing to a shared story of healing and belonging.
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, we will unveil this community art installation, shaped by Dr. Loh's dedicated leadership and the creativity, voices, and lived experiences of our community.
Together, these individual pieces form something greater: a powerful reminder that Lewiston is not defined by the tragedy of October 25, 2023, but by how we come together to remember, heal, and shape the future of our city. 💚💜

🩵 TEXTILES, TEXTURES & TANGIBLE CHANGE | The City of Us 💚💜
What does economic mobility look like when women are recognized for the skills they already possess?
Last Friday, at the L/A Art Walk, our Maker’s Space Women’s Collective offered one answer. This Sunday, their work continues at the Lewiston Farmers’ Market.
Since 2020, alongside Dr. Yun Loh and her psychology students at Bates College, we have been imagining, making, planning, and dreaming together.
Rooted in asset-based workforce development, co-creation, and shared ownership, this work transforms existing skills into pathways for economic mobility.
None of this would be possible without our incredibly kind and generous donors, who contributed to every sewing machine and all the materials that make this collective possible.
October carries profound personal and collective meaning in Lewiston. Amid the green and purple, we celebrate the women whose creativity, craftsmanship, and aspirations shape our city.
The women of the City of Us are not waiting for opportunity. They are creating it together.

The Rad Roots Harvest Celebration will be a moment of radical connection, joy, and nourishment; with healthy roots, good food, and strong connections-we can weather anything.

Our Parent Leadership Cohort is now in Session 3 of its six-month journey. Each session is intentionally stacked, with new knowledge and skills building on what parents learned in previous sessions.

This month’s focus was economic upward mobility through informed financial education, including financial decision-making, future wealth building, and investment.

A special thank you to Community Credit Union’s Kayla Goyette for sharing her knowledge with our parents and for Community Credit Union’s continued partnership and investment in our families. 💛

August 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day.
There is progress, but the work is far from over.
In 2025, 390 people in Maine died from confirmed or suspected overdoses, a 20% decrease from 2024. More than 7,300 nonfatal overdoses were also reported.
Every number represents a person, a family, and a community.
Today, we remember those we have lost, stand with their loved ones, and recommit to prevention, treatment, recovery, and reducing stigma.
Declining deaths are progress. They are not permission to retreat.
