Volunteers for the CLC YMCA’s “Back to School Bash” provided students with school supplies, hair cuts, and meal kits.
The CLC YMCA’s annual “Back to School Bash” was a huge success despite limitations presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The businesses that provided support included Colby & Gale, the Damariscotta – Newcastle Rotary, The Lincoln County News, Damariscotta Fire Department, Damariscotta Chamber of Commerce, Mia’s Shear Perfection, Hair We Are, Serenity Hair Salons, Supplies Unlimited, Main Street Grocery, Lincoln Health, 5-2-1-0 Let’s Go, Healthy Kids, Coastal Car Wash, Renys Department Store and Warehouse, Cheney Financial Group, Bridge to Shore Films, and many more.
