On Sunday, September 12th at 5:30 in the morning, volunteers gathered in a brisk and quiet Payson Park with the kind of excitement only volunteers can muster in the dark early hours of a weekend morning. For that moment, that day, and for the whole event, we have so much to be grateful for. Spurwink is grateful to have once again been the charitable beneficiary for the Portland 10 Miler road race, produced by Gray Matter Marketing.
The 2021 School Supply Drive was a huge success! Thanks to all of those who have donated; hundreds of items are being disbursed to Spurwink schools throughout the state! A special thank you to our community partners for organizing workplace and residential drives, including The Boulos Company, Boulos Asset Management, WEX, FedEx, Maine Medical Partners, Ruth's Reusable Resources, Woodfords Congregational Church, and the Woods at Canco Retirement Community.
