The County FCU recently demonstrated its commitment to strengthening northern Maine communities through investments in education and hunger relief.
The credit union awarded scholarships to 12 graduating seniors who will continue their education during the 2026-27 academic year. For more than 28 years, The County has awarded over $173,000 in scholarships to local students pursuing higher education.
“We are pleased to provide these scholarships to these exceptional recipients,” said Dan Bagley, Executive Vice President at the County FCU. “Assisting our graduates is a small way to give back, which helps achieve the credit union industry’s mission of People Helping People.”
The County also raised $8,142 for the Campaign to End Hunger during its Annual Bowling Tournament and collected 277 food items for the Caribou Ecumenical Food Pantry.
“This event showcases the incredible generosity of our members, sponsors, volunteers, and community partners,” said Janet Bosse, Branch Manager and event organizer. “Not only did we exceed expectations with our fundraising efforts, but we also collected hundreds of food items to support our neighbors facing food insecurity.”
As a member-owned financial cooperative, The County continues to invest in initiatives that support education, address food insecurity, and improve quality of life throughout the region.
