LEWISTON – Community Credit Union recently presented the Trinity Jubilee Center with a check in the amount of $500. The Trinity Jubilee Center at 247 Bates St, provides support to those in downtown Lewiston six days a week with five programs feeding more than 1,000 people each week. Their food pantry provides groceries to 300 families in need.
Community Credit Union participates in the Maine Credit Union League’s initiative known as the Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger.
Maine Credit Unions have raised more than $7.2 million since 1990 to help end hunger in Maine. At the end of each year, all of the money raised by individual participating credit unions is given back to that credit union to be distributed to hunger organization in their community. In 2016, participating Maine Credit Unions raised a new record total of $674,000 for the Ending Hunger Campaign.
Community Credit Union has branches in Lewiston, Auburn and Turner. For more information about Trinity Jubilee Center, visit www.trinityjubileecenter.org.
