“At Bay View Collection, giving back is a part of who we are,” says Matthew Levin, Director of Hotels. “We’re honored to support these organizations that do such meaningful work in our communities, from promoting health and mentorship to caring for our seniors and protecting Maine’s natural beauty. These partnerships allow our guests to join us in making a local impact.”
