Another week of double crews and these two highly skilled teams knocked it out of the park. The volunteers’ work included building a handicapped accessible walk-in shower for a woman, roofing a home, installing new flooring, and replacing windows.

I would like to send a big Thank You to these crews who have adopted Downeast Maine as their Mission destination!
