Fun, caring, hardworking colleagues enrich work life. Feeling grateful for the wonderful employees we have at Penquis who do just that! This group brought some fun and smiles to a lot of kids at this year’s Summerfest in East MIllinocket, playing games, giving tattoos, giving away books and beanies and digging for dinos!
We are bringing the sunshine and fun to E. Millinocket Summerfest today! If you're in the area, stop in and say 'hi'!
Penquis was honored to have Marietta Rodriguez, CEO of NeighborWorks America visit with us yesterday. She traveled to Maine to visit the five NeighborWorks member agencies in the state, Penquis being a proud, member. She was interested in seeing the high-quality of services offered in a large rural state. She had the opportunity to have lunch with our leadership team, tour our Harlow Street corporate office, ride with our Lynx transportation, visit a one our child development sites and participate in our groundbreaking ceremony of the Steven B. Mooers Village. Her dedication to community development and genuine passion for the work is an inspiration to us all. Penquis received $200,000 in funding last year for housing development from NeighborWorks America.
What a spectacular and special day! Groundbreaking for the development named in honor of the late Penquis Housing Development Director, Stephen B. Mooers. It commemorates the 35 years he committed to providing safe, affordable housing for Maine citizens. During his tenure, Penquis and its subsidiaries established affordable housing projects in 8 Maine towns and cities totaling nearly 300 units. The community benefited from Stephen’s vision and compassion and will continue to benefit through this new housing development site. Stephen was a dedicated and accomplished professional and a kind and generous individual. It is our privilege to honor his memory by breaking ground on Stephen B. Mooers Village, home to 39 one bedroom apartments for adults 55 years and older! We were honored to have the CEO of NeighborWorks America attending today, Marietta Rodriguez! Her energy, and commitment to community development was an inspiration to us all and it was an honor to have her be a part of this special day along with many of our community partners! Together we are stronger!
