Maine Family FCU proudly presents their check to Seniors Plus.
Maine Family FCU is proud to announce three $5,000 donations to Good Shepherd Food Bank, High Street Food Pantry, and Seniors Plus. These contributions were made possible through funds raised as part of the credit union’s participation in Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger.
“At a time when rising costs and the recent government shutdown are placing unprecedented strain on Maine families, we know that access to food is more critical than ever,” said Dan Clarke, President/CEO of Maine Family FCU “We are honored to support these three outstanding organizations that work tirelessly to ensure our neighbors have access to nutritious meals and essential resources.”
Each organization expressed deep appreciation for the support:
High Street Food Pantry:
“This generous donation from Maine Family FCU comes at a time when food insecurity is dramatically on the rise,” said Reverend Deborah Rogers Duval, Pastor at High Street Congregational Church. “Your donation will help us keep our shelves stocked so we can continue to serve our families with dignity and compassion.”
Seniors Plus:
“We are incredibly grateful for this contribution,” said Betsy Sawyer-Manter, President & CEO at Seniors Plus. “Many older adults in our community are facing difficult choices between food, medication, and housing. This funding helps us ensure they don’t have to choose.”
Good Shepherd Food Bank:
“Maine Family FCU’s support is a powerful example of community-driven impact,” said Heather Paquette, President at Good Shepherd Food Bank. “We are grateful for their generous donation that will help us distribute more meals across the state and reach those most affected by food insecurity.”
Representatives from the credit union met with each organization to personally present the donation and express their appreciation for the vital work being done across the region.
