General Assistance
Hello, Mechanic Falls Citizens.
My name is Shannon Moxcey and I have been the part-time General Assistance administrator for the Town since
2014. John Hawley opted to take a chance by allowing me to manage the program entirely by fax, phone and
email. Later in the same year, John told the Mechanic Falls Select Board that: “the decision to hire Shannon
Moxcey appears to have been a good one because General Assistance payments for the past six months of 2014
were about $10,000 lower than comparable periods in recent years.”
The numbers of applicants, as well as the amount of General Assistance I have authorized, has significantly
decreased. I attribute this to several reasons. I require mandatory work fare for all General Assistance recipients to
be completed prior to issuing any assistance, in non-emergency cases. I also conduct a thorough verification of all
of the eligibility factors which impact the case. I refer people in need to other available local resources that may be
able to help with client needs, such as local food pantries and the Salvation Army.
I am proud to serve the taxpayers and my co-workers of the Town of Mechanic Falls, my work would not be
possible without the collaboration of the administrative staff at the Mechanic Falls Town Office, who are so very
helpful, efficient and knowledgeable. Thank you to Mechanic Falls Town Manager Koriene Low for giving me this
opportunity to introduce myself to residents via this report.
Thank you,
Shannon Moxcey
