MMCC Update

Dear Friends of the Maine MultiCultural Center,

As I begin my role as Executive Director of the Maine MultiCultural Center, I would first like to express my gratitude to Pamela Proulx-Curry, our first Executive Director. Through her years of dedication, kindness, vision, and guidance, Pamela helped build MMCC into a trusted resource for immigrants, refugees, and multilingual families throughout our community. Her leadership has touched countless lives, and I know I speak for many when I say thank you for everything she has done for our organization and the people we serve.

I am honored to continue the work that Pam helped establish. Our mission remains as important as ever: to help make the Greater Bangor area a welcoming place where New Mainers can build successful, connected, and fulfilling lives. Every day, we work alongside families as they navigate housing, employment, education, healthcare, language learning, and community integration. We believe that when newcomers are welcomed and supported, our entire community becomes stronger.

At the same time, we recognize that both the families we serve and organizations like ours face significant challenges. Rising housing costs, food insecurity, barriers to employment, language access needs, and changing immigration policies continue to create uncertainty for many immigrant and refugee families. Nonprofit organizations are also facing increasing demands for services while operating with limited resources. Despite these challenges, we remain committed to meeting needs with compassion, creativity, and community support.

Thank you for being part of the Maine MultiCultural Center community. Your support makes this work possible.

Sincerely,

Adrian Arias-Palomo
Executive Director
