Our 2020 Mainers to Be Thankful For
In a year that’s been trying like none before, we’ve also seen the best of humanity come out through kindness, bravery, innovation and determination. Since the start of the pandemic, we’ve been recognizing people who’ve stepped up to help their fellow Mainers, but we knew there were more out there so we asked you, our readers, to tell us who in your community is making a difference behind the scenes. The people you’ll read about below have provided food and shelter, financial and emotional support. They’ve fought for equality and kept us connected. This year, finding Mainers to be thankful for was easier than ever.
