Community Partners
Through a growing partnership with Androscoggin Bank, MaineWorks is helping to break down the financial barriers that often stand in the way of lasting stability. What started as a connection between our founder, Margo Walsh, and Portland Branch Manager Amanda Lavoie has become a powerful collaboration rooted in dignity, education, and trust. Bank employees regularly join MaineWorks fireside chats, offer financial literacy workshops at sober-living houses, and provide one-on-one support to our participants—helping them build credit, manage debt, and take steps toward long-term financial independence. As a Certified B Corporation™, Androscoggin Bank shares our commitment to sustainable community impact and economic opportunity for all.
