AgrAbility cited in Love Maine Radio interview with Goodwill Northern New England chief
Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, president and CEO of Goodwill Northern New England, was interviewed by Dr. Lisa Belisle as part of the “Growing Goodwill #232” radio episode on Love Maine Radio, part of Maine Magazine. Roosevelt spoke about the diverse retail, health care and workforce services Goodwill operates to help individuals and families find stability through work. She mentioned the Maine AgrAbility program, a nonprofit partnership among the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, Goodwill and Alpha One that assists farmers, loggers and fishermen with disabilities and chronic illnesses so they may remain active in production agriculture. “We do help about 400 people across the state in various ways to participate in agriculture, which is one of our state’s real claims to fame,” Roosevelt said.
