Rise in Aid Noted in Maine’s Falmouth

People who are familiar with Falmouth, Maine, often picture fancy homes and cars, perhaps people playing at one of the three local private golf clubs or sailing from the yacht club. While this is one side of Falmouth, there is another side – a side that has been growing. Over the past year, the number of people on assistance has been increasing dramatically.

The Forecaster, the local weekly newspaper, recently took a look at this increase in requests for aid and the needs that have led to these requests. To read the article from The Forecaster, please visit:
