Community Credit Union presents check to Maine Community Integration

LEWISTON — Community Credit Union presented Maine Community Integration with a check in the amount of $250. Founded in 2006, Maine Community Integration works to promote cultural understanding and equal opportunities to asylum seekers in the Lewiston Auburn Community. The donation will assist clients of MCI with receiving nutritious food and goods for themselves and their families.
Community Credit Union participates in the Maine Credit Union League’s initiative Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger. Maine Credit Unions have raised more than $8.5 million since 1990 to help end hunger in Maine. At the end of each year, 100 percent of the money raised by each individual participating credit union is given back to that credit union to be distributed to hunger organization in their community.
In 2018, participating Maine Credit Unions raised a new record total of more than $792,901 for the Ending Hunger Campaign.
Community Credit Union has branches at 144 Pine St.; 40 Stanley St., Auburn and 1025 Auburn Road, Turner. For more information, visit www.communitycreditunion.com.
