The votes are in, and Northeast CU has announced the ten recipients of its Love Your Community Awards for March. Launched in 2020, the Love Your Community Awards initiative is part of Northeast CU’s regionwide Love Your Community Project, which encourages people to practice kindness in their everyday lives.
Every month, Northeast CU asks nonprofit organizations serving Maine and New Hampshire to submit applications for grant awards.
