Gardeners plan to grow an extra row of any (or multiple veggies/fruits) and when they are ready, bring them to the “Give and Take” tables at the Montville Grange and/or the Liberty AMVETs Hall. From there, families and individuals are welcome to come and take home whatever is there. A simple way to share the bounty!

I am Laura and I am reaching out to you on behalf of the Division On Addictions
https://www.addictiontreatmentdivision.org/drug-alcohol/maine/.
Division On Addictions is an organization that helps vulnerable Maine residents who are addicted to drugs or alcohol locate proper treatment options. Alcoholism and drug addiction are terrible crises affecting all ages in our communities – from teenagers to senior citizens.
Finding treatment facilities that are able to understand the underlying causes of the addiction, and that are able to cure an individual so as to prevent any relapse, is often a very hard task. This is where we come in. We help those in greatest need to find addiction treatment options that are the best for each individual situation. Our services are 100% free.
Assisted Living in Maine
Approximately 1,344,212 people call the state of Maine home, and about one in five residents are aged 65 and older. While the overall state population is expected to remain relatively stable in the next few years, the number of seniors is predicted to jump to 351,880 by 2026 up from 257,499 in 2016.
According to the 2019 Genworth Cost of Care Survey, the average monthly cost of assisted living care in Maine is $5,169, which is $1,118 higher than the national average of $4,051.
This guide provides in-depth information on assisted living costs in Maine and how those costs compare to other long-term care services for seniors. Readers will also learn about the various financial assistance programs for older adults who need assisted living care as well as state rules and regulations that govern these facilities.
SeniorAdvice's Guide to Assisted Living in Maine
Maine currently has a SeniorScore of 68%, which is 4% below the national average. The SeniorScore is compiled from more than 100 data points analyzing variables that impact quality of life, including access to health care, the cost of assisted living, life expectancy and finances.
Addiction expert and former federal prosecutor Andrew McKenna wrote this article to help raise awareness and asked us to get this message out to the public.
Recently deadly amounts of fentanyl are showing up in fake prescription medication and people are dying from overdose all over the country.
Most people are completely unaware that the pills they are used to buying now have fentanyl in them and are unprepared without Narcan.
This new crisis is affecting a whole new group of people such as our youth who are not prepared for overdosed with Narcan.
Many people would simply just not buy pills off the street if they knew the risks involved.

Slips and falls for seniors is one of their biggest risks of getting seriously injured. It can be extremely scary for those involved, and can result in a long hospital stay. We wanted to create a guide that details why seniors are prone to slips and falls, how we can mitigate the risk, and what are the steps for the person and also their family or caregivers if it does happen. Check it out:
