Hope@Home
BANGOR — Greg Dufour, president and chief executive officer of Camden National Bank, presented checks to shelters for the homeless in Bangor and Ellsworth last week as part of the bank’s new Hope@Home program.
Dufour visited Spruce Run-Womancare Alliance, the Bangor Area Homeless Shelter and Stepping Stones in Bangor, and Next Step Domestic Violence Shelter and Emmaus Homeless Shelter in Ellsworth to present checks to each organization from the recently launched initiative.
“We are not only grateful for Camden National’s financial support, but also for the help in raising the awareness around the issue of homelessness in Bangor and throughout the state,” said Dennis Marble, executive director of the Bangor Area Homeless Shelter. “The more collective attention that’s put on this, the greater the chances of more conversations taking place — more people caring about the issue, talking to their legislators, and talking with business leaders and in neighborhoods about what this means and how we can do it better.”
