With the heartbreaking images of the devastation that a 7.0 earthquake recently brought to Haiti constantly on television, online and in the newspapers, people everywhere are wishing that they could do more to help these victims.
In response to this disaster, Maine credit unions are not only taking action to help, they are making it easy for others to do so as well, with a statewide fundraising initiative called, 'Maine People Helping People Across The Earth - A Fund For Haiti'. In conjunction with the National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF), Maine's credit unions have activated a safe and secure web site to raise money for credit union employees, volunteers and members in Haiti. In addition to online contributions, a number of credit unions have set-up donation canisters in their lobbies to collect funds for this important cause.
Visit your local credit union to find out more about this effort, or the many other ways they are helping those in need, across your community and across the world. Or, to make a safe and secure donation to the Haiti fundraising effort, visit www.cuaid.coop/maine and click on the Donate Now link.
