The Lisbon Community Federal Credit Union recently held its annual summer basket raffle, raising $1,237 to be donated to the Ending Hunger in Maine campaign.

The campaign is a collaborative effort between all Maine credit unions and their members. Each participating credit union donates funds raised to its own local food pantries.

Beautiful, themed-basket donations came from several communities and included everything from fishing gear to a vacation. Donors included First Choice Printing, Turner Publishing, Don’s Automotive, Tim and Faye Plummer, as well as several Lisbon credit union staff members.

Last year, the Lisbon credit union and its members raised more than $5,000 in total for the Ending Hunger in Maine campaign. The funds were presented to the Lisbon Christian Community Outreach food pantry in Lisbon and Hope Haven in Lewiston.

Based on the success of its current fundraiser, the Lisbon credit union is on its way to raise even more this year to support local food pantries.
