FARMINGTON The fifth annual United Way Community Change Challenge kicked off Feb. 1 and extends this entire month.
Last year area businesses raised over $6,000, proving that a little bit of change can add up quickly. It is not too late to join; any business, organization, school or group is welcome to sign up. There will be matching donations for the first $2,000: $1,000 from The Dugout Bar & Grill and $1,000 from Bangor Savings Bank.
The Tier 1 trophy for employers with over 200 employees or unrestricted customer traffic resides at Spruce Mountain School District in Jay. The Tier II trophy for organizations of less than 200 employees is held by The Dugout Bar & Grill, in Farmington.
