We hope you are ready to bid high and bid often! In less than two weeks, the annual Ending Hunger Online Auction will embark on 16 days of fundraising for hungry Mainers—giving you the perfect opportunity to win some great items while supporting our food insecure neighbors. With many wonderful items in-hand already from multiple generous donors, this is an auction you won’t want to miss.
Your credit union still has the chance to submit an item to this annual fundraiser, helping raise even more critical funds for the Campaign for Ending Hunger (and subsequently, hunger relief efforts across the state). Every item donated helps us collectively give back to our communities.
If you plan to provide a donation, please complete the convenient form on the League’s website by the end of today, Friday, April 18. Completing the form is important for our recordkeeping, and it helps the League prepare the auction website for its launch. Auction items should be mailed to:
Maine Credit Union League
Attn: Lauren Simonds
2 Ledgeview Drive
Westbrook, ME 04092
If your item will not arrive at the League ahead of the Elevate conference or if you would prefer to bring it with you to Elevate, you can email a photograph of the item instead to Lauren Simonds at lsimonds@mainecul.org. The auction will go live on May 1, and items will be on display at Elevate on Friday, May 16. Please also feel free to share this with any of your credit union’s volunteers or local business/community partners who may be able to donate an item.
If you have any questions regarding the annual Campaign for Ending Hunger online auction, please feel free to contact Simonds. Don’t forget to visit our website once bidding begins for your chance at securing some great items while backing this important cause.
