Verizon Wireless presented a $10,000 donation to the Spruce Run-Womancare Alliance, a nonprofit agency serving Penobscot and Piscataquis Counties. The alliance is dedicated to providing safety planning, advocacy and support to individuals affected by domestic abuse, as well as prevention, education and training to foster safe, healthy relationships.

This contribution, through Verizon’s HopeLine phone recycling program, will help strengthen the Spruce Run-Womancare Alliance’s legal services offered to survivors of domestic violence. The check was presented at the Verizon Wireless Store on Stillwater Avenue in Bangor.
