SUMMARY:UMC's Day of Giving
DESCRIPTION:United Midcoast Charities' annual "Day of Giving" is back! On December 18\, you can once again finish your last-minute holiday shopping and pay it forward at the same time.

"Although the Midcoast has returned to some semblance of normalcy in recent months\, many of our friends and neighbors still face enormous challenges. The 'Day of Giving' is a terrific way for all of us to support area businesses and help address our neighbors' most basic needs of food\, housing\, health and safety\, and economic security.\n\n\n\n \n\nSierra Dietz of The Grasshoppers Shops in Rockland and Belfast added\, "Since 1975\, our family business has taken pride in supporting the local community.
