What Makes Us Wealthy?

In March 2022 we participated in the Machias Savings Bank YES! Grants competition; a bold online campaign to highlight social initiatives around the region, resulting in $25,000 in donations. People were able to vote daily for their organization of choice. 

Your passionate response led to a $5,000 grant which we will use to bring to life the “Somedays” that we have been dreaming up since last November. We are inspired, fired up, and looking forward to more in person interaction as the heat rises. 

Watching our community rally was like witnessing an amped up version of what makes us alive with gratitude the whole year round. To us, wealth is not only about money - the resources to drive this mission come from motivation, kindness, moral support, creativity, and connection. 

These values, when embodied, become catalysts for a special kind of abundance that makes richness for all of us. Here, in the community, we have everything we need together. Thank you for bringing your part. 

From the deep heart’s core.
