The Hope@Home program has raised more than $385,000 supporting more than 50 shelters in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts since its inception in 2015.

“We’re thrilled to support such important work in our hometown,” said Pam Kenniston, senior vice president, senior retail loan officer at Camden National Bank. “Delivering the Hope@Home donation checks to KCHC has become a meaningful routine for me as I know how much the support has a real impact.”
