Acadia FCU recently disbursed over $18,000 to help feed Mainers in need as part of the Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger. Fourteen food pantries and food assistance programs in northern and eastern Maine benefited from Acadia FCU’s fundraising efforts.
“Our lobbies were closed and there was a lot of uncertainty during the pandemic,” said Alison Smart, Acadia FCU Marketing Manager and Ending Hunger Credit Union Coordinator. “That created a bit of a setback in our 2020 fundraising efforts, but we still found ways to reach our members and rally our staff for the cause. We are proud of our contributions to this annual campaign and the meaningful impact we have in our communities.”
A total of $18,323.53 was divided and disbursed to the following agencies:
- First Assembly of God Food Pantry
- St. John Vianney Parish Food Pantry
- Aroostook Area Agency on Aging/Meals on Wheels
- Ashland Food Pantry
- Greater Fort Kent Ecumenical Food Pantry
- Notre Dame du Mont Carmel Food Pantry
- Our Lady of the Valley
- MSAD 33 Take Home Program
- Seeds of Hope Food Pantry
- Bangor Area Homeless Shelter
- Brewer Area Food Pantry
- The Salvation Army of Bangor
- Manna Ministries Food Pantry
- Fish River Rural Health Food Shelf
Acadia FCU hopes to raise more funds for the Campaign for Ending Hunger in 2021 than it did in 2020.
