The Aid Society of Otter Creek, Maine was founded over a century ago by dedicated community members joining together to address local needs and foster communal support. Since then, generations of residents and visitors have continued this tradition, working together to preserve the unique heritage of the of Otter Creek.
Today, the Society serves as the guardian of several key community landmarks in the village of Otter Creek including The Hall, The Veteran's Memorial, and the Fish House lots. We remain committed to maintaining these sites as part of our ongoing mission to promote village community life.
As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization we rely on the contributions of the community to sustain our services. We are grateful to the many generous community contributors who over generations have dedicated their time, talents and financial support to make what we do possible.
