It is amazing what we can accomplish when we collaborate!
The League hopes credit unions will join us for a special virtual ceremony on February 9 at noon to recognize our collective efforts to combat hunger in our state. During our annual Campaign for Ending Hunger Celebration, the 2021 fundraising results will be shared and the top credit union fundraisers will be recognized. The event also will feature guest speaker Nirav D. Shah, MD, JD, Director of Maine’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Dr. Shah will address the correlation between hunger and public health and share his experience responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
