Tree Street Youth Executive Director Julia Sleeper gets a hug from David Cassidy of Schooner Estates after Schooner staff and residents delivered a passenger van donated by Schooner Estates in Lewiston on Tuesday. Schooner, a senior living community in Auburn, used the van to take residents on trips and out to eat. John Rice said that when the owners of Schooner purchased a larger, more accessible van, it was decided to donate the van to Tree Street. Sleeper said the van will be used to take youth to community service opportunities, college tours, field trips and internship opportunities. (Sun Journal photo by Daryn Slover)
