"Giving Starts At Home" ~ what began with The Home Kitchen Cafe's generosity became a part of "home" for many of our area's residents. On behalf of the Rockland District Nursing Association, we sincerely and gratefully thank James Hatch and Susan Schiro for reaching out and beyond. We are encouraged by the waitstaff's enthusiastic collection of donations. We are humbled by the kindness of so many in the community giving. Through these efforts, awareness was broadened of the many people among us who need our services and those of our co-recipient, the Homeless Coalition.

Since 1929, RDNA has provided non-acute, in-home nursing and community health services as a locally supported, independent agency. Today RDNA annually visits close to 200 residents, predominantly seniors, living independently in Rockland, Thomaston, South Thomaston, Owls Head, St. George, Cushing, Union and Warren. Only through the generosity of this community has RDNA, for 89 years, continuously been able to focus on serving residents who otherwise may not have access to care. RDNA does not receive federal, state or insurance reimbursements. The majority of the operating budget is covered through donations, keeping fees affordable and services accessible.

Our community truly cares! Thank You to The Home Kitchen Cafe for helping us make a difference.
