Goal accomplished

Project G.R.A.C.E. and its partners, including the Scarborough Fire and Police departments, the Scarborough Public Library, the Rotary Club, the Lions Club, Kiwanis, Volunteers in Police Service, the Scarborough Marsh Audubon Center, the Pine Point Ladies Auxiliary, the American Legion, the town of Scarborough, Buy Local Scarborough and Boy Scout Troop 47 hosted another successful, community-spirited “Rally to Keep Our Neighbors Warm” on Valentine’s Day.

Despite the freezing cold and a blizzard warning, dozens of hearty souls turned out for the rally to show their neighbors some love on a frigid day, raising funds for fuel assistance for their neighbors. It was just 3 degrees outside, but inside the Oak Hill fire station there was plenty of warmth and good cheer.

Thanks to several gifts coming in on the heels of the event, Project G.R.A.C.E. has raised $12,000 to help people in need of home heating help. Missed the rally? You can still give to the fuel fund online at www.projectgracemaine.org or by mailing your donation to Project G.R.A.C.E., P.O. Box 6846, Scarborough, Maine 04074.
