Join Avec Community Action, Heart of Maine United Way, and Star 97.7 on Thursday, Nov. 19 for the THAW Radiothon, a community effort to raise donations that help provide emergency fuel assistance to seniors, families, and individuals in need when no other resources are available.

Every dollar donated stays local in Washington and Hancock Counties, helping households stay warm while connecting them to supportive services such as budgeting assistance and workforce development programs that can help prevent future crises.

Tune in to Star 97.7 throughout the day and help make a difference for local families this winter. Together, we can keep our neighbors warm and supported when they need it most

For decades we were ACAP, Aroostook County Action Program. The name said where we worked and what we did, and for a long time it fit. Just over a year ago, things changed. When longtime services in Washington and Hancock counties were at risk we partnered so that families there wouldn’t be left without help, and our reach grew. A name rooted in one county could no longer hold all the places we now call home.
