Mrs. Androscoggin County America 2018 Art Supply Drive to benefit New Beginnings

Feb 6, 2018 | Events

Jaime Ferland, Mrs. Androscoggin County America 2018Jaime Ferland, Mrs. Androscoggin County America 2018, is launching an Art Supply Drive to benefit the youth who receive support and services from New Beginnings Outreach Program and Youth Drop-In Center.

Jaime is an artist who has felt the healing power of art and the therapeutic benefits it provides emotionally and physically. She feels strongly that it can impact the lives of others in a positive way! Art helped her cope with her teen years, and young adulthood dealing with depression and anxiety. Jaime shares, “Anyone at any age can create!  That is what she loves most about art. Art is multidimensional and there are so many ways to create and interpret art.” She feels compelled to share her joy of art with the community and wants to encourage others to find their inner artist. Jaime approached New Beginnings with the concept of hosting an Art Supply drive at the benefit of Outreach Program and the youth relying on their support and services.
