Chief Robert Moulton died on Sunday, leaving a legacy of service and love for his family, friends and community. We are profoundly grateful for his more than twenty years of service as Vice President of our Board of Directors. Project GRACE is who and where we are today because of his leadership, dedication, and compassion for his neighbors. Robbie seized opportunities where others shied away, he saw people for their potential, and was willing to do whatever it took to keep our community safe, whole, and caring. He was quick to smile, offer encouragement, look for the good. Our hearts are heavy, our farewells have come upon us far too soon, but we are comforted and blessed by so many fond memories of our treasured friend Robbie.

Many families depend on free school meals to help feed their kids, and that’s why we are partnering with our friends at the Scarborough Food Pantry to offer families extra food during school vacations. You may have heard, we have also been working with guidance staff and the food pantry to set up and support a "micro pantry" at the high school. It's for students who confide there is not enough food at home, and allows teachers, coaches, and guidance staff to provide immediate help while also giving the school social workers time to connect the student and their family with resources. We are grateful for the generosity of neighbors who stop by food drives or donate throughout the year. https://projectgracemaine.weebly.com/giving.html
