About Us | Harpswell Aging at Home

Founded in July 2015, Harpswell Aging at Home (HAH) is a grassroots community organization created, supported, and led by volunteers from all over Harpswell. We are focused on providing free or nominal cost initiatives that help older adults thrive while aging in their homes. Our goal is connecting those that could use a hand with the various services that are available through HAH or by other community based organizations.
