Employees at Aroostook County Action Program are preparing a birthday celebration in honor of Presque Isle and Houlton Community Cupboards’ first year helping provide food security to people in Aroostook County.

On Wednesday, August 9, Aroostook County Action Program staff and volunteers visited with children in Presque Isle as part of their sponsorship of United Way of Aroostook and TAMC’s Summer Gap Feeding Program, designed to provide nutritious foods for children who are not yet back in school.

Two local agencies are working together to tackle the challenge of food insecurity in The County by finding ways to reach out to vulnerable citizens who may not be aware of all of the programs that exist to help alleviate their situation.

From now until August 7th, Aroostook County citizens are invited to take part in the annual “Stuff the Bus” event coordinated by United Way of Aroostook by donating basic school supplies to students in Aroostook County.

One of three regional forums planned for the state to discuss community solutions to advance economic opportunity and address childhood poverty is set for Aroostook County on Wednesday, March 29, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Northern Maine Community College in Presque Isle.

The Aroostook County Action Program (ACAP) is partnering with Aroostook Area Agency on Aging to help County seniors to enroll in the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP).

The United Way of Aroostook is pleased to be partner with New Ventures Maine, Aroostook RSVP, ACAP, KeyBank, and VITA, to once again offer free tax preparation.

U.S. Senator Susan Collins received Maine Community Action’s 2016 Star of Community Action award this week at the Aroostook County Action Program (ACAP) Center in Houlton.
