⚖ Clean Slate (LD 1911) would automate the sealing of certain old records and reduce barriers to work, housing, and stability for many Mainers in recovery. On Dec 29th, the Maine Recovery Action Project will walk us through the bill, the process of passing it, and help participants practice sharing their own story for testimony in a supportive setting.

Days like this remind us how much warmth matters, and how too many people are facing this extreme cold with limited resources. We want to remind our community that our doors are open until 3pm today with heat, hot coffee, hand warmers, and a place to rest. If you need to come in from the cold for a little while, we’re here. ☕️🩵

We were blown away at the Oxford Hills Christmas Parade this Saturday - by the floats and costumes, by our community, and by the wind! 😅❄️ We're so grateful to eveyone who came out or helped out, especially our volunteer Alicia who created the awesome candy decorations for our new van.

Thank you all for helping us spread treats, holiday cheer, and representing The HILLS with us! We're always proud to show up and celebrate with you. 🤍🎅

Happy Thanksgiving to our HILLS & WMARI family!🧡 We want to say how thankful we are for this community and for the connections found through this space. You all give us a lot to be grateful for.

We are closed today and tomorrow for the holiday, and our Thursday and Friday meetings will continue next week. We know this can be a tough day at times, so we're sharing some resources for anyone who might need support. Below is our virtual meeting list and info for marathon meetings happening in Auburn and Portland.

👀See you at the Christmas parade on Saturday?

Thank you to the Western Public Health District and Community Concepts for sharing this great resource! And thank you to the many organizations and local businesses that are feeding their community this holiday.

We still have items to offer in our food pantry at The HILLS and will be open until 12pm today for anyone in need of a few essentials.
