Rockland Festival Makes Grant to New Hope for Women
New Hope for Women, a nonprofit 501c3 and the only fully accredited domestic violence resource center in Midcoast Maine, recently received a grant from Rockland Festival, Inc. to assist with sheltering residents of Knox County who are victims of domestic violence. We know that this past year has been challenging on so many levels and want to let the benefactions committee and the people of Rockland know how much we appreciate this donation. The annual Maine Lobster Festival, generally a source of fun and a booster to local revenue, is also a source of community enhancement and giving. Surplus money is donated to many local nonprofits and area businesses that serve community needs. Even without the festival this year, the committee still found it possible to stretch their dollars so that good things happen for people in need.
