Supporting the Community We Call Home

At Damariscotta Hardware, being a local hardware store means more than providing dependable products and expert advice. It means supporting our neighbors, first responders, and local organizations when they need us most.

Through register round-up campaigns, matching donations, and direct contributions, our customers and team have helped donate $16,500 to important causes throughout Maine.

Small Change Makes a Big Difference

Many of these community efforts begin with a simple question at checkout: Would you like to round up your purchase?

Those small contributions quickly add up. By matching customer donations, Damariscotta Hardware can make each gift go even further and provide meaningful support to the organizations serving our community.

Thank you to every customer who has donated, rounded up, or helped spread the word. Your generosity makes these efforts possible.
