SCARBOROUGH, Maine (February 9, 2015) – Crossroads for Women was recently awarded a grant in the amount of $4,000 from the Gannett Foundation. The grant will support the Barbara L. Dacri Scholarship Fund. The funds will be used for clients in need of financial assistance for treatment at Crossroads for Women’ 30-day Back Cove Residential Program.
“A grant like this one from the Gannett Foundation will help give access to treatment for more women seeking help for alcohol and substance use addiction,” says Shannon Trainor, Crossroads for Women’ executive director. “Crossroads for Women has prided itself in maintaining the highest quality programs for its clients for over 40 years.
