We want to recognize Dorinda Bennett as February’s “Star of The Month”! Since day one with OEI, Dorinda has proved her dedication to the agency and, more importantly, the individuals she supports. She is kind and compassionate and goes above and beyond to ensure every individual has the opportunity to live their best life. Dorinda has not only proven herself as a top-notch direct support professional but also demonstrated her abilities as a leader within the agency. With that being said, we are proud to announce her recent promotion to Assistant Program Manager for one of our Lewiston Residential Programs. We are beyond lucky to have Dorinda as a member of The OEI Family and look forward to watching her further excel in her new role. Thank you, Dorinda, for ALL that you do! We appreciate you beyond words.

January Recap:

We are thrilled to announce the success of OEI's recent sock drive, aimed at providing support to community shelters and at-risk youth. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our community, we were able to collect numerous new pairs of socks for those in need. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated and made this initiative a success. Your support has undoubtedly made a difference in the lives of many individuals. Thank you once again for your kindness and generosity.
