BBHCC was granted a Community Building 2024 grant from
Maine Community Foundation in June of 2024.
The monies will be used to expand the Thrive and Home Safety & Accessibility Repair program to Bucksport Bay communities like Orland, Prospect and Verona Island.
BBHCC is incredibly honored to receive this grant and to
serve the community.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the BBHCC booth and "duck pond" at the Bucksport Bay Festival! We had a great time and love to support our community.
