LUBEC, Maine (AP) — A foundation in Maine has provided $1 million in grants for essential services such as food and shelter to dozens of groups around the state.

The John T. Gorman Foundation said it increased funding to its annual Direct Services Grant Program this year because of increased need caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
