Pat and Pete have been friends of United Way of Kennebec Valley for many years. Before they retired both of them contributed to the United Way through payroll deduction. They never thought that one day a United Way agency would make the difference in their survival.
With health struggles and a reduction in the financial assistance they receive, Pat and Pete depend on the Augusta Food Bank to help them put a hot meal on their table each evening. The food they receive from the Food Bank is intended for one week of meals, but Pat creatively and proudly makes it last for two weeks.
In return, Pat and Pete volunteer at the Augusta Food Bank as a means to give back to their community and refresh their sense of pride.
Through your generosity and funding from the United Way, they have been given
The Gift of Hope…
