The recent Telstar/Interact Club’s Chores Day was completely booked, but if you missed it, don’t worry; AFCI’s Handy Neighbor Program provides other opportunities to get student help with outdoor chores. Remember that the students are eager (perhaps the need for Community Service credits helps!) and can help adults 65 and over by raking leaves, stacking wood, taking loads to the dump, or putting gardens to bed for the winter (following all COVID safety precautions). Call the AFCI request number and leave a message about what you’re requesting; someone will get back to you soon. 207-824-4444.
Need to just talk with someone in these lonely, confusing times? Our AFCI friendly callers can give you valuable information about services in the area, as well as … well, just chat. Let us know you’d like a call: 207-824-4444.
