“I found hope where I least expected it. I found it in the church basements, not the church. I met it among people that said ‘me too, oh totally! I get what you’re saying. YES to that.’ And that’s the connection I never dreamed I would find. That’s what I was looking for.”

Join us and watch award winning film, “Hopeful: The Story of MaineWorks”,  by and about Margo Walsh and her determination to change lives around her.  This is an uplifting portrait of a strong local female entrepreneur from Maine who gives exclusive employment opportunities to ex-cons and people in recovery. Margo found herself in a crossroads of her own life and decided at her kitchen table to begin a way to give back.  MaineWorks gives people a second chance to rebuild their lives, and find a  pathway back to the community and redemption through their hard work.  

Margo is no stranger to Alnoba, as she has been one of our fearless leaders /panelists in our Daring Women, Shaping a New Economy speaker series.  In addition to viewing this incredible film, you will also have the amazing opportunity to meet her for a Q&A session following the film!
