Northern Light Mayo Hospital, Dover-Foxcroft: Tuesday (scheduled pick up’s)

Northern Light Cancer Care, Brewer: Monday and Wednesday | 12-3p (no appt needed)

Currently, there is a waitlist for the delivery of grocery packages. Thank you for your patience as we seek to reduce the wait for home delivery.
