During 2012 the Lisbon Credit Union participated in the
Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger. We are delighted to announce
that the 67 participating credit unions raised an astonishing $471,744.42 to
help end hunger in Maine. We are honored to have been part of this
record-setting accomplishment. It's hard to believe that even during a time of financial crisis, we are able to join forces and produce impressive results. Compassion, and the simple philosophy of people helping people really pulled through in this time of need.
Statistics show that Maine is the number one state in New England that is currently food insecure. This is an issue that falls heavily on our hearts. However, thanks to the dedication of Maine's credit unions, our loyal staff and the generous people of Maine we are one big step closer to diminishing this unfortunate problem.
The Maine Ending Hunger Campaign has been active since 1990. "Credit Unions have now raised $4.8 Million for the campaign." The most rewarding aspect of this achievement is the guarantee that 100% of the funds raised go directly to food pantries and hunger organizations across Maine.
We look forward to the successful future this campaign has in store for Maine. We would like to end this note with a big THANK YOU to everyone who so kindly donated to this cause. Your help is greatly appreciated.
