Late last month, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D) announced $1 mlilion in Community Project Funding for the Central LIncoln County YMCA Child Care Center in Damaristocca to expand services and better meet the demand in the community.

“The need for child care is a prevalent issue in our commnity and our local families are often on waiting lists for 1 – 2 years before being able to enroll their child in a program,” Central Lincoln County YMCA CEO Casey Clark Kelley said.  “Our child care expansion project has formed as a result of this increasing community need and we are so grateful for Congresswoman Pingree’s advocacy to secure funding for our YMCA.”
