LEWISTON — Androscoggin Home Healthcare + Hospice received a grant of $6,874 from the Celia Lipton Harris and Victor W. Harris Foundation Home Community Fund, a donor-advised fund through the Maine Community Foundation.
The funds will support the AndroPeerConnects program, a volunteer virtual companionship program for homebound patients that will help prevent social isolation and loneliness.
“During these unprecedented times, the need for human connection is far greater than ever before. Support through trained and compassion volunteers can improve the quality of life and well-being of patients experiencing serious and chronic illnesses. We are honored to receive financial support to help us launch this important effort,” said Development Director Kristin Melville, according to a news release from the organization.
