As you may know, the Maine Credit Unions Campaign for Ending Hunger faces some unique challenges this year. The opportunities to do regular fundraisers are limited, postponed, or canceled. It is for this reason the Maine Credit Union League launched the Campaign’s 30-day $100,000 Challenge on June 4th. Synergent kicked off the Challenge with a contribution of $100,000, and the goal was to raise an additional $100,000 by July 4.
We are proud to announce that the Challenge raised just over $127,000. Combined with Synergent’s $100,000, that’s $227,000 that will go to Good Shepherd Food Bank as well as food pantries and meal sites across Maine.
