The YMCA of Southern Maine is offering free child care to voters today.

President Helen Brena says it’s part of the Y’s mission to be socially responsible.

“This is our way to do that,” Brena says. “To help parents be able to have a safe place for their kids so they can go and exercise their right to vote, which is important for everybody to do.”

The Southern Maine Y is offering the free child care at its four locations until 1 p.m. today and again 4-8 p.m. Its four branches are in Freeport, New Gloucester, Portland and Biddeford.
