LEWISTON — SeniorsPlus has been awarded a Workplace Wellness Mini-Grant from Healthy Androscoggin and the Lewiston Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce.

To support their joint missions of creating healthier communities and enhancing quality of life, Healthy Androscoggin and the chamber offered businesses and organizations in Androscoggin County the opportunity to apply for a mini-grant to support their workplace wellness initiatives.

Applications were evaluated on program description and structure, program successes, future goals, sustainability and how they would use the grant funding. Grant awards were available in the $200-$500 range.

SeniorsPlus was presented the award at Healthy Androscoggin’s annual meeting on Nov. 2 at the Auburn Public Library.

SeniorsPlus will be using the funds to help support the cost of mind/body/wellness coaching and/or wellness programs for the staff.
