Credit unions are working hard to wrap up their 2023 Campaign for Ending Hunger fundraising. Cash calendar sweepstakes, food drives, Holiday Meals for Mainers solicitations—these are just some of the ways credit unions are supporting the Campaign in this final month of the year. Fundraising results will be announced in February, which means credit unions have just a few more weeks to tally up their totals and turn in their contributions.
Submitting Your Credit Union’s 2023 Ending Hunger Funds
All funds should be submitted to the Campaign by Monday, January 8, 2024. Funds can be submitted any time before this deadline.
Please direct your funds to:
Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger
Attn: Accounting
PO Box 1236
Portland, ME 04104
There is no need to send gaming funds through Take a Chance to End Hunger. We are utilizing the Campaign only this year.
Food Donations
If your credit union collected non-perishable food, you can submit the value of any in-kind contributions you made with your 2023 fundraising total. However, please submit an acknowledgement of receipt from the beneficiary of the items.
Other Charitable Hunger Relief Donations
If your credit union has provided financial support directly to a hunger-relief organization (not through the Campaign for Ending Hunger), please include that information with your year-end total. While we encourage all credit unions to utilize the Campaign for these types of donations, we want to give you “credit” for all the ways you have helped combat hunger in your communities.
Questions Concerning 2023 Fundraising?
If you have questions about your fundraising efforts, or concerns about meeting the January 8 deadline, please contact Jen Burke, League Assistant Vice President of Outreach & Communication, at 207-773-5671, ext. 295 or by email at jburke@mainecul.org. Registration is open for the Annual Ending Hunger Results Luncheon on February 13. Credit unions can register by visiting the League’s website.
