Androscoggin Bank’s MainStreet Foundation $25k for Kids awards $5k grant to MPTC!

At a ceremony last night held in Lewiston, the MainStreet Foundation, a charitable arm of Androscoggin Bank, awarded MPTC with a $5,000 gift. Given the timing of MPTC’s annual appeal, and our goal to raise $480,000 to fund 500 kids, this could not have come at more opportune time. Thus, many thanks for your belief in our programming, Androscoggin Bank!
