We recognize community members who show exceptional kindness and generosity in their everyday lives – plus those who stepped up in the wake of the tragedy in Lewiston.
Every year, we ask you to tell us about people in your community who go out of their way to give of themselves for the benefit of others. This year's 10 Mainers To Be Thankful For are activists and advocates, coaches, caring neighbors, leaders and spirit-lifters. Here are their stories. Photos by staff photographer Gregory Rec.
Even as the pandemic continues to test our society and how we relate to one another, we don't have to look far to find people who, every day, disregard differences to help their fellow humans.
In a year that’s been trying like none before, we’ve seen the best of humanity come out through kindness, bravery, innovation and determination. Since the start of the pandemic, we’ve recognized people who have stepped up to help fellow Mainers. We knew there were more so we asked you, our readers, to tell us who is making a difference in your community. This year, finding Mainers to be thankful for was easier than ever.
