Hunger is a serious concern for 1 in 8 Mainers. A donation of $5 can help provide 10 meals to those in need. 🧡 Help us reach our goal of raising $100,000 in 31 days for hungry Mainers today at https://lnkd.in/efRqdAQk #endinghungerchallenge #peoplehelpingpeople

In 2022, Maine was ranked first in New England for household food insecurity. 1 in 8 Mainers face difficulties finding room in their budgets for food, and with qualifications for government assistance programs like SNAP tightening, more and more people rely on food banks for nutrition. 🧡 Help hunger relief organizations keep up with the demand and feed our neighbors in need today at https://lnkd.in/efRqdAQk #endinghungerchallenge #peoplehelpingpeople

Happy International Credit Union Day! 💛 2024 celebrates 76 years of ICU Day under the theme “One World Through Cooperative Finance” – which signifies how credit unions and cooperative financial institutions still bring people together to grow financial inclusion and make local communities stronger! #ICUDay2024

13% of Maine’s population, including 1 in 5 children, struggles to obtain enough healthy, nutritious food. This October, we hope to raise $100,000 in 31 days for our neighbors in need. Join the fight at https://lnkd.in/efRqdAQk

As you may know, our credit union participates in Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger, a hunger relief initiative that helps ensure Mainers in our community and across our state have access to healthy, nutritious meals. In 2023, the Campaign exceeded its $1 million fundraising goal by raising $1.2 million, a portion of which comes from the generous support of our credit union employees, volunteers, vendors, and members. This year, we hope to raise even more! This October, we are joining credit unions throughout Maine in a special fundraising effort—the fifth annual $100,000 Challenge. Collectively, we hope to raise at least $100,000 within the month, but we can’t do it without your help. Every dollar raised by the Campaign will support Good Shepherd Food Bank and local food pantries. These organizations work hard to ensure people living right here in our community have access to sufficient nutritious food. New this year, the Campaign also will be raising money to support a new pilot backpack program for Special Olympics Maine. This innovative initiative will help meet the needs of Special Olympics athletes who are facing food insecurity while also providing them an opportunity to give back to their communities. Please consider making a tax-deductible online donation to the Campaign before October 31. Your support will help ensure local Maine families get the food they need. Stop in to your local Connected Credit Union branch or donate online! 🌟 https://lnkd.in/gQkQrS2c Individual contributors will be listed on the Campaign’s website (with permission, unless they choose to remain anonymous), and businesses contributing more than $250 can have their logos featured on the Contributor’s page. No contribution is too small—even a donation of $1 can help provide two healthy meals to those in need.
