JAY – A car wash and yard sale held by OTIS Federal Credit Union on Saturday, Aug. 11 raised $1,223 for the Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger.
Twelve employees, as well as a member of the credit union’s Board of Directors and a member of its Supervisory Committee, volunteered at the events, and B98.5, Central Maine’s Country, was on site helping to promote the event, playing music, and handing out goodies to attendees.
Volunteers estimate that they washed approximately 30 vehicles, including a big rig, a trailer with two side-by-sides, and a four-wheeler.
The car wash raised a total of $368.00, and the yard sale raised a total of $855.08. Combined, OTIS FCU was able to raise $1223.08 for Ending Hunger in Maine.
All money raised stays within the community and is disbursed to local food pantries.
Participating credit unions raise money for the Ending Hunger campaign throughout the year. However, the primary period of fundraising is from September through December.
One hundred percent of all of the money raised by credit unions stays in Maine and goes directly to the cause of ending hunger. All administrative costs are covered by the Maine CU League’s Social Responsibility Committee.
The month of November is designated as ending hunger month in Maine and Maine’s credit unions are usually involved in a variety of food drives and fundraising activities for ending hunger.
