In October 2023, The Rotary Club of Presque Isle, The Aroostook Agency on Aging, your community public works, and several retail sponsors partnered to provide FREE five-gallon buckets (half filled) of sand and salt for older adults to help prevent slips and falls during the winter. It doesn’t take much effort to make a big impact. Volunteer teams delivered SAFE STEPS buckets to pre-registered consumers in October and then again in early December. Together, volunteers delivered over 100 Sand and Salt Buckets to community members in Mapleton, Castle Hill, Chapman, Easton, and Presque Isle communities.

Since then, several other Rotary Clubs and community organizations have expressed interest in adopting this program in their own communities. If you are interested in learning more about how to bring the Safe Steps program to your area, please contact us.

SAFE STEPS registrations for the October 18,2023 delivery are now closed. To have a bucket or refill delivered on December 7, 2023 please complete the form below. All requests completed after October 11 will be filled in December.
