In Her Presence: Based in Portland, In Her Presence supports immigrant women and families by cultivating connections, nurturing relationships, and providing learning opportunities essential for successful integration. Wellness is central to this work; immigrants arrive in Maine often having lost their support networks, with language and cultural barriers leading to isolation. With programs that create community and provide access to education, healthcare, senior wellness circles, youth activities, and cross-cultural exchanges, In Her Presence lifts up immigrant women and families. Their mission to empower women to thrive in their new home aligns with the marathon’s commitment to fostering wellness and inclusion.
