| | THANK YOU AUBREY FROM HANNAFORD'S FOR THE DONATION OF TOILETRIES Affording and maintaining a place to live can be challenging, forcing many within our community to go without essential household items in order to make ends meet. Enter some of our rockstar Case Managers, Holly and Cari, who approached Audrey Mason an employee at Kingston Plaza Hannaford to see if they could provide assistance for our Landmark Place residents who may be struggling. Two weeks later, Holly received a call that Hannaford Supermarkets was happy to donate a case of individually wrapped toilet paper and a case of paper towels to help support those most in need. |
