Tuesday July 1, 2008
Falmouth, Maine—The Southern Maine Agency on Aging received a $10,000 gift from OceanView at Falmouth to support its Volunteer Services programs which include RSVP, Money Minders, Fix-It, Grocery Shopping, and the Friendly Visitors programs.
This gift was a challenge to match one-to-one all new and increased giving to these services. Donors to the Southern Maine Agency on Aging rose to the challenge and these programs received $20,000 in new support.
John Wasileski, owner of OceanView, and two OceanView residents, Jack Evans, board member of the Agency on Aging, and Dave Astor, former advisory board member, presented the check to Executive Director Larry Gross.
Wasileski said, “Healthy communities depend upon active volunteers and not only do volunteers thrive on their engagement with others but they also experience better health and longevity. OceanView is proud to support the Southern Maine Agency on Aging and the work of its 1,200 volunteers.”
