Nearly everyday, Maine's credit unions help their members and communities in a variety of ways. While many of those ways are in the form of financial services, a number come through a commitment to community-service. Here are some recent examples highlighted below:
Change 'Adds' Up!
For the second year in a row, Bangor FCU partnered with a young man in their area to help him raise funds for CMN. His name is Noah Tibbitts and he was the 2014 Children's Miracle Network State of Maine Champion Child. "Nickels with Noah" was the name of the fundraiser whereby Noah ask his peers at his school to put their spare change in jars he had place in each classroom. In 2015, with the help of the CU, Noah raised $3,950.52, bringing his two-year total to nearly $6,500. In the above picture, Noah is with Bangor FCU's Travis Martin and Barbara Stacey.
Being Neighborly!

Every cent counts!
