The state also has announced the creation of a “Healing Together” resource website that lists community organizations that can accept financial donations to support victims, families and first responders impacted by the tragic shooting in Lewiston.
“Healing Together” also includes mental health services from the Maine Department of Health and Human Services to support anyone who might be struggling.
