Harpswell Aging at Home recently received a grant from Lifelong Maine, a program of the University of Maine Center on Aging. This funding is enabling us to provide more resources to our older neighbors in Harpswell. It is being used to support the creation of a “community connector” role that will increase our ability to provide information, access to supportive resources, and social opportunities to our older neighbors. We are thrilled to announce that Harpswell resident Tom Mahoney will be filling this role.
Tom is a familiar face around town, serving on the town Recreation Committee and Harpswell Aging at Home’s Steering Committee, and teaching beginning pickleball. He also leads HAH’s new Harpswell ROMEOs — Retired Older Men Eating Out — program. Tom brings extensive experience as a nonprofit leader and public health official to the community connector role, having helped hundreds of at-risk individuals connect with community agencies.
