The Maine Credit Unions Campaign for Ending Hunger is a collection of credit unions throughout Maine who have joined together in a special fundraising effort – the fourth annual $100,000 Challenge. Every dollar raised by the Campaign will support Good Shepherd Food Bank, local food pantries, and meal sites in our communities. Mainers always help Mainers in times of need. With rising inflation, high grocery costs, and pandemic-era support to purchase food expired, many individuals and families need assistance now. Let’s work together to help them access the food they need to thrive!
