When it comes to helping others, Maine credit unions not only go the extra mile in their efforts to make a difference, they also strive to find unique ways to capture the attention and creativity of their communities by raising funds in new and different ways! This week, two special events focused on a cause close to Maine credit unions, Ending Hunger. On June 7, the Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger shared two types of “bread,” the kind used for toast, and the kind used to buy food, with two food pantries in each Maine County at the sixth annual Share the Bread event. A total of $17,000, one of the largest, single-day contributions to multiple hunger organizations ever in Maine, was presented that day.
On June 8, one credit union raised funds for the cause by hitting the greens, armed with not golf clubs, but Frisbees for a Disc Golf Scramble. While skill levels ranged from getting a “hole in one” to many discs finding their ways into bodies of water, the good spirits and significant funds raised for Maine’s hungry made every toss worthwhile!
