Our volunteer training program has been accepted by the State of Maine thru their Aspire program in which they send volunteers to our organization and we train them and also help place them in jobs. We also involve our local children. High School students have joined our volunteer program and they donate their time at our store year round. High Schools have a new program that requires the Sophomores to do 20 hours of community service. We are working with the schools on this new program. It teaches the students about their community, what it is like to need assistance, and how they can help others.
