The Central Lincoln County YMCA is once again collaborating with community businesses, organizations, and individuals to organize the Community Tree of Giving, which is designed to help families fulfill needs of their children this Christmas.
For those seeking assistance for their family this year, applications are still available but must be submitted before the fast-approaching due date, Friday, Nov. 15.
Applications are currently available at the following locations in Damariscotta: the CLC YMCA (also available online), town office, police department, and Great Salt Bay Community School. In Newcastle, locations are the town office, Lincoln Academy, and the Second Congregational Church. In Jefferson, applications are available at Jefferson Village School, and in South Bristol, at South Bristol School.
Completed applications should be brought to the locations above or mailed to: CLC YMCA, Attn.: Karen-Ann Hagar, P.O. Box 787, Damariscotta, ME 04543.
Once the applications are processed, community members can select gift tags at the Y and other locations within the community beginning Nov. 20. Community members and groups are invited to stop by the Y, choose tags off the tree, purchase the requested items, wrap them, and return them with the original tags to the Y by Dec. 13.
Please contact Karen-Ann Hagar at 563-9622 with any questions regarding the Community Tree of Giving.
