a non-profit organization, is a multi-service agency dedicated to addressing
otherwise unmet personal, family, social and spiritual needs of people in the
surrounding communities. Through collaboration and networking with the
Episcopal Diocese of Maine, churches therein, other religious and secular
organizations, and local, state, and federal agencies, we respond to the
practical needs of those in the greater Lewiston-Auburn area. We regularly
assess our programs to assure that we continue to provide quality services in
food and meals, maternal and child care, and prison ministry. We develop new
programs as needs arise. We offer opportunities for training and education to
both those who are served and those who serve, empowering them to pursue the
greater goal of awareness and change.
