📣 Community Food Drive Alert – Your Help Matters More Than Ever

We are collecting donations for the Midcoast Hunger Prevention Program through November 13, and we truly need your support.

As you may have heard, benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which many families depend on, are facing uncertainty. This means even more people may be turning to local food assistance in the coming weeks.

Most-needed items:
• Peanut butter
• Beans (canned or dry)
• Pasta sauce
• Canned chicken or tuna
• Healthy snacks
• Canned soups, stews, and pasta meals
• Baby formula
• Thanksgiving non-perishables (ready-to-use gravy, boxed stuffing, canned cranberry sauce, canned green beans, canned sweet potatoes or yams, canned pumpkin, pre-made shelf-stable pie crust)

Your donation can help bridge the gap for families who may suddenly face difficult choices about food. That makes this moment especially important.

Thank you for showing up for our community. Every jar, can, and box makes a difference and reminds our neighbors that they are not alone.

It’s always a great day when dogs come to visit!

Today, School Resource Officer Mathieu and Comfort Dog Garver from the Topsham Police Department joined us in our Governor King and Cadigan Lodge communities.

Although comfort dogs are relatively new to the state of Maine, law enforcement agencies across the country use them for everything from community outreach to supporting victims of trauma and abuse. Studies have shown that comfort and support dogs can help lower stress and anxiety, offering calm and companionship during times of loss and crisis. They also provide much-needed emotional support to first responders who regularly face challenging and traumatic situations.

We’re so grateful to SRO Mathieu and Garver for making our day extra special!

We’re sad to share that our Moments That Matter Panel at the Topsham Public Library has been canceled due to low participation. We appreciate everyone who expressed interest and hope to bring this conversation to the community another time. Thank you for your understanding!

We went to Rocky Ridge Orchard, and boy did we have a great time! 🍎

It was an all-out apple-palooza — from picking the perfect apples to enjoying fresh cider and warm donuts, everyone had a smile on their face! There’s nothing quite like a crisp fall day spent with good friends, good food, and plenty of laughter.

We’re soaking up every bit of autumn here at The Highlands! 🍂❤️

Join us for a special presentation on Project Lifesaver! 🛰️👮‍♂️

We’ll be joined by Detectives Everstone and Burns of the Topsham Police Department as they share valuable information about this life-saving program.

What is Project Lifesaver? It’s a vital search and rescue initiative that helps quickly locate at-risk individuals who may wander due to cognitive conditions such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, or autism. This program is a true game-changer in keeping our community safe and supported.

What an incredible day! It’s always a privilege to rally the troops for such an important cause.

This year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s had an amazing turnout, and we’re so excited to share that we surpassed our goal! 💜

Thank you to everyone who donated, walked, or supported the Alzheimer’s Association!
