Outpatient services previously offered at KBH's 66 Stone Street location have moved to 10 Caldwell Road in Augusta. 10 Caldwell is just down the street from 66 Stone and across from KBH's Augusta med clinic at 11 Caldwell.

KBH decided to make this move to have all Augusta outpatient services located in one building. Clients have been notified but can reach out to the front desk for questions.

This move only affects clients previously receiving outpatient services at 66 Stone Street.

KBH is excited to share that our KBH Food Cupboards are now set up and ready to serve clients! Thanks to the generosity of many staff members, we’ve already received wonderful donations — thank you!

Over the last few weeks, KBH staff took the initiative to find a way to support our clients and staff struggling with food insecurity. With the help of our Connections Team and leadership, KBH has launched internal food cupboards for November and December. Any client or staff can utilize this resource.

Food cupboard locations:
Skowhegan Clinic
Waterville Clinic
Farmington Clinic
Augusta: 66 Stone Street. Please note: 66 Stone is also serving 10 and 11 Caldwell sites.

Clients can now visit any of these sites during regular clinic hours to access the food cupboards. In Augusta, clients are encouraged to go to 66 Stone Street.

When visiting, clients will be provided a bag and invited to fill it with the items they want or need. Information about local food banks, soup kitchens, and other community resources is also available.
