LISBON — The 16th annual Maine credit unions’ Ending Hunger Walking Tour began Friday, Oct. 27, at Maine State Credit Union in Augusta, concluding with a visit to Maine Savings FCU Monday, Nov. 28.
Each year in the fall, Brenda Davis, long-time advocate of ending hunger in Maine and executive director of the BBC Opportunity center in Old Town, partners with Maine’s credit unions to travel each day, by foot and car, to raise money to end hunger in Maine.
This year, her goal was to visit a record 98 credit union locations in 91 different communities.
Davis visited Lisbon Nov. 10, and was presented with donation checks from George Roy, CEO of Lisbon Community Federal Credit Union.
The money received by Davis during this walking campaign goes to a food pantry in each credit union’s community.
