Community
Helping Central communities find their “Yes!”
We believe in investing in the small, local communities that are the lifeblood of our great state. Because in saying yes to the potential of our communities, we are saying yes to growing possibilities for all of Maine.
Building Community Resilience
Central Maine remains a hub of hardworking entrepreneurs, resilient communities, and essential services that strengthen families and local economies. Over the past year, we’ve deepened our commitment by expanding support for small businesses, enhancing access to critical resources, and advancing financial health initiatives. We continue to invest in the success of small businesses through digital tools, mentorship, and targeted programs designed to help them grow and adapt. At the same time, we’re strengthened partnerships by collaborating with The Bangor YMCA and Penquis CAP ensuring childcare, youth programming, and essential services are available to families who rely on them every day. We’re proud to play a role in fostering both economic vitality and community well-being across the region. Together we’re building a future where strong businesses and healthy communities thrive side by side.
