ORONO, Maine — The Senior Companion Program is celebrating 40 years of connecting volunteers age 55 and older with community service efforts.
University of Maine Cooperative Extension became the program’s sponsor in 1981 and last year, approximately 120 senior companions assisted more than 425 homebound clients in 11 counties in the state. In Aroostook County, 11 SCP volunteers worked regularly with 52 clients, offering friendship as well as assistance with daily tasks.
