Meeting the insurance needs of Hampden, Maine and the Greater Bangor area.
Our Hampden, Maine insurance office was formerly the Peter J. White agency before F.A. Peabody Insurance merged with and eventually acquired it in 1993. This established the agency’s 4th branch office location in the state. After Peter’s retirement, his son Ken White continues to manage the office as well as the entire sales department statewide.
Hampden enjoys the proximity to Bangor, Maine’s 3rd largest city, while maintaining a small town atmosphere. According to its website, “Hampden proclaims itself as “The Community of Choice in Central Maine” for very good reason. Despite Maine’s history of sprawling development patterns, Hampden has preserved its rural character, and protected its open space and rural landscapes, while accommodating well planned commercial and residential development.” F.A. Peabody Insurance in Hampden’s employees live in the community and are well-equipped to cater to this dynamic.
As the area grows, our agency will continue to help maintain the high quality of life that draws people to Hampden.
What Shelly loves about living and working in Hampden: “Hampden is a bedroom community of Bangor and within reach of so many other towns as well, just down the road or crossing a bridge. Living in Hampden gives the small town, neighborly caring and giving while having quick access to the city for the bigger needs. Really, everything you could want in a small town!”
More about Shelly: “I like meeting and talking with people. Learning what they are all about and taking care of their needs when I can in the job that I do.”
Fun fact-
“I founded the Standby to Fly Initiative, a non-profit organization that raises money to give to the most effective Veteran-assisting local organizations. Basically, we hold fundraisers and raise money to give it to the organizations who can make a difference with that money. To date we have donated over $150,000 to help our local Veterans and we are aiming to double that number in 2023.”
In 2022, F.A. Peabody Insurance expanded into the Central Maine area thanks to the innovative thinking of Christine Huntress. Located in Palermo, the 11th branch office is central to the tri-city community of Belfast, Augusta, and Waterville. Christine brings over 35 years of experience after moving to Palermo from York in 2018. With a specialty in personal insurance, she fields new business opportunities and works closely with staff in Hampden’s well-established branch office. She says, “Each client is unique with different insurance needs and I welcome every challenge.
