You tell everyone this place saved me, okay? It saved me.

It. Saved. Me.

A mere 19 days after the shooting - the second fastest opening of a resiliency center in the United States - the Maine Resiliency Center’s doors opened and served 8 people. Four days later, we had over 60 guests seeking support. Over a year later, we still see new faces seeking the support, information, and connection we provide.

Just in Time Recreation Owner & MRC Guest:

“The thing I come back to is the year anniversary and our soft openings here at the bowling alley.

Their whole staff was here - talking to people, easing them back into coming back through those doors for the first time (after the shooting). Walking them back and forth, in and out the front door. We couldn't have re-opened without them.”
