Across Maine, food insecurity continues to be a challenge for too many families, seniors and children. Addressing this challenge requires more than individual action; it depends on our communities working together. That’s why Sebasticook Valley Federal Credit Union stands with credit unions across the state in supporting the Maine Credit Union League’s Campaign for Ending Hunger, a statewide effort to strengthen food security for Mainers in need.
In 2025, thanks to the collective spirit of our members, employees and community partners, we helped raise $35,800 through the Campaign for Ending Hunger. These funds support local hunger relief organizations and stay right here in Maine to help neighbors who need access to food and essential resources.
About the Maine Campaign for Ending Hunger
The Maine Credit Union League’s Campaign for Ending Hunger is guided by a simple but powerful principle: every dollar raised stays in Maine and organizations working to address food insecurity in their communities. Since the Campaign began, credit unions across the state have worked together to raise millions of dollars for food pantries, meal programs, schools and other hunger relief efforts.
By pooling our efforts, we support organizations responding to the real, everyday needs of families and individuals. From community food pantries in small towns to meal programs serving hard-working families, the Campaign helps ensure that Maine residents have access to nutritious food year-round.
Powered By Members, Employees and Partners
Throughout 2025, support for the Campaign for Ending Hunger came from shared efforts across our communities. This included seasonal fundraisers like the Sebasticook Valley Chamber of Commerce’s Festival of Trees and the Campaign for Ending Hunger golf tournament, along with in-branch donation opportunities and employee-led initiatives held throughout the year. Members, employees and community partners each played a role, whether by participating in events, contributing during fundraising efforts or supporting activities that brought people together locally.
What’s Next
Ending hunger in Maine is an ongoing effort, and community involvement remains essential. There are always opportunities to participate in fundraising, volunteer at local food banks, or simply raise awareness among friends, families and neighbors.
