![You still have time to donate to Midcoast Literacy this #givingtuesdaynow. Donations of any amount will help our Workplace Literacy program continue to grow. The program has been a huge success, and we now have multiple classes at several of our sites. A workplace participant had the following to say about the program, “I am so busy with work and family that I have no time for Adult Education classes. This class [at my job] works with my schedule. Now I can do so much in English and help others too.” To make a one-time or recurring gift, visit our website at midcoastliteracy.org. If you are unable to donate money, consider donating your time.
