Bruce White for 109
Why I am running for House District 109:
Having come from a single-parent Waterville family of 8, raised in poverty, I am grateful for those who helped me overcome the many disadvantages I faced. Therefore, I have always had a passion to give back by helping others, especially those in need. My many years of service in organizations have enabled me to meet the needs of others.
As Winston Churchill said, “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”

Be Prepared.
It’s more than a motto, it’s a way of life. Being prepared means having the ability to deal with many of the tough challenges life presents- that’s what Scouting is all about. Through its time-tested program, Scouting provides young people with opportunities to mentor to their peers, build character and enrich their faith. These activities build strong family bonds and help youth reach their full potential by instilling values that last a lifetime.
One of the strengths of the Scouting program is the unique relationship between religious and community organizations, parents and leaders. Working together, they are able to focus the necessary resources and leadership on the single task of serving youth. The result is children, families and communities that are stronger and better prepared for the future.
Ready to learn more? We invite you to explore our variety of youth programs and volunteer and community opportunities. When you’re ready to get started, we are prepared to help you navigate the right Scouting path for you. Contact us by email or by phone at 207-797-5252.

In REM, work is cooperative, diversity is honored, self-reliance is promoted, and civic life is renewed.

Develop a Vibrant Economy
Excel in Education
Protect Human Potential
Promote Arts & Entertainment
Beautify the Environment

Are you or someone you know experiencing this?
Times are tough. And they seem to keep getting tougher. Hours get cut at work, cost of living rises … one emergency hits, and crisis looms.
With everything going on in the world today, all the negative news, it’s easy to lose hope. But when we shift the focus to what can be done to recover and overcome these challenges, we see hope is not lost.
What part does UWKV play in all this? Together, we help people RISE …
I RISE logo
… above youth homelessness. Did you know UWKV provides funds to schools to cover expenses for homeless and at-risk students that aren’t otherwise covered by state and federal funding? Thanks to the Youth Homelessness Initiative, students have gotten glasses, their driver’s license, and even a cap and gown for graduation.
… to overcome food insecurity. In 2017, 23 organizations participating in the Pantry Project collected over 5,000 pounds of food for nine food pantries in our service area.
… with 24/7 access to resources. 211 Maine has a database of over 8,000 resources, ranging from mental health services and heating assistance to transportation and legal services. 211 also provides emergency services during natural and other disasters.
… to build financial security. As a leading member of the Central Maine CA$H Coalition, UWMM provides free tax preparation clinics for low- and moderate-income households. Over $250,000 stayed right here in Mid-Maine in 2018, thanks to money saved on tax prep fees, Earned Income Credits, and volunteer time.
… with affordable prescriptions. Over 1,500 people in Mid-Maine have saved over $160,000 on prescription medications, simply by using a free FamilyWize prescription discount card.
… with warmth in the deepest chill of winter. Keeping Mid-Maine Warm provided $29,000 to families in need of emergency heating assistance in Winter 2017.
Together, we RISE to a stronger Mid-Maine community!

The Waterville Area Soup Kitchen is pleased to announce the opening of The Lighthouse, a new community meals program that will be located at 38 College Avenue in Waterville, across the street from the Post Office.
Beginning on Monday, May 2nd, volunteers will serve a full hot lunch on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays – the same three days that the Waterville Area Soup Kitchen has been serving meals downtown since November 2020. Doors will open at 11:00 a.m. and lunch will be served from 11:30 to 12:30. Following a start-up period, we plan to extend lunch service to six days per week.
In addition to providing a nutritionally wholesome meal, The Lighthouse will function as a place where people can expect to find a welcoming smile, get out of the weather in winter or summer, chat with old friends or make new ones. The space will also be available for use by the City as an Emergency Shelter.
Formerly the End Zone sports bar, our new home is owned by Rita LaCroix and is the home base for Rita’s Catering. Waterville Area Soup Kitchen President, Carla Caron stated, “We are beyond Grateful that Rita is willing to allow the Soup Kitchen to use her facility. The location is perfect for our Guests and the seating area is just right for the friendly atmosphere that we want to provide. We plan to make some upgrades to the kitchen that will enable us to provide quality meals for up to 100 people.” Ms. LaCroix is also the owner of Rita’s House of Pizza in Winslow.
Since its formation in the summer of 2020, the Waterville Area Soup Kitchen has served over 5000 meals in the community. Because of the constraints imposed by the pandemic, those meals have been distributed at outdoor locations. Despite limitations, the enthusiastic cooks at Waterville Area Soup Kitchen have provided hearty meals which included a tasty hot soup or stew, a sandwich, a piece of fruit or dessert and a bottle of water. The meals were prepared at St. Marks Episcopal Church in Waterville, which graciously permitted the use of their kitchen facilities.
Many of Waterville Area Soup Kitchen’s volunteers are veterans of the former Sacred Heart Soup Kitchen that closed when the church was put up for sale in 2020. That organization provided a meaningful inroad in the effort against food insecurity in Waterville for almost 40 years and people were saddened to see it end. The Waterville Area Soup Kitchen is proud to be carrying on this tradition started so many years ago.
Waterville Area Soup Kitchen is a registered 501(c)(3) all-volunteer non-profit that is funded through the donations of numerous individuals and many local businesses and civic organizations.
Special thanks to Kennebec Savings Bank for their generous support and advice. Waterville Area Soup Kitchen is a member of the Maine Association of Non-Profits and Good Shepherd Food Bank.
Donations can be made online at www.watervilleareasoupkitchen.com or by mail to Waterville Area Soup Kitchen, P.O Box 1494, Waterville, ME 04903
You can visit our website or find us on Facebook.
***The Waterville Area Soup Kitchen is looking to expand its volunteer pool. Our lunch service at the Lighthouse grows steadily. At present, we typically serve upwards of 130 meals each day. Depending on the menu, each day’s operation requires up to 11 people on hand. Regular volunteers enjoy camaraderie with each other and the guests who join us each day for a great meal and some lovely social interaction. If you’ve ever thought about making a significant contribution to the welfare of your neighbors, here is an opportunity to do great work without spending a penny. Even if it’s just one day per week, if you can spare about 2 ½ hours – between 10:30 and 1:00 – on any weekday, we can probably use your help. For more information, contact us at info@watervilleareasoupkitchen.com. ***

It is made up of members from the comThe museum is housed in a handsome two story home built in 1814 by pioneer Waterville settler Asa Redington, a veteran of three enlistments in the Revolutionary War and a member of George Washington’s elite Honor Guard. After the revolution he developed the water rights at Ticonic Falls and with his sons Samuel and William established a thriving flour mill on the banks of the Kennebec River. The father of six sons and three daughters, Asa built this substantial home for his son William. Fashioned of great hewn timbers, all hand pegged, it still features the original spiral staircase, fireplaces with period woodwork, and floors of wide pumpkin pine. The newel post in the entrance exhibits the “contractor’s peace stone,” a small smooth polished stone signifying in Colonial times that the project had been completed to both the owner’s and builder’s satisfaction. Today five rooms are furnished with antiques of the late 18th and early 19th centuries from the Redington family, the family of pioneer attorney Timothy Boutelle, and from other early local families. The house has been open to the public as a museum since 1927 and was entered in the National Register of Historic Places.
