In November, the 12th Annual Maine Credit Unions’ Ending Hunger Walking Tour made a stop in Scarborough and delivered a contribution to the Scarborough Food Pantry.

Brenda Davis, one of the state’s leading ending-hunger advocates, has been partnering with Maine’s credit unions to coordinate the Ending Hunger Walking Tour for the past 12 years. Other local communities visited by the tour the same day included Saco, South Portland, Westbrook and Gorham. A food pantry in each of those communities also received a contribution.

The purpose of the walk was to raise awareness and distribute some of the statewide funds raised by the Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger. In 2012, the campaign raised a record-setting $471,000 and has raised more than $4.8 million since 1990.

The walk concluded with a ceremony at Bangor Federal Credit Union in Bangor on Dec. 4.
