Thanks to customers at the JCPenney store at the Auburn Mall, who rounded up their purchases to the nearest whole dollar and donated the difference, store manager Gretchen Sayward was recently able to give a check for $14,357 to the Auburn/Lewiston YMCA’s after-school program. More than 104 area children are enrolled in the program. The funds will be used to create scholarship programs for working families with financial constraints. “The support of JCPenney customers will make it possible for more local youths to participate in the Auburn/Lewiston YMCA’s after-school programming, which includes homework help, sports, arts and crafts and special activities,” said Kate Hiss, YMCA child care director. Accepting the check, from left, are: Sayward; Y School Age Director Sara Thistle; many Y program participants; Hiss; and Y Executive Director Brian DuBois.
