Through dedicated teamwork and community support, New Dimensions Federal Credit Union (NDFCU) raised $25,208.19 for the 2023 Maine Credit Union League’s Campaign for Ending Hunger. Their fundraising efforts will directly support local food banks and pantries serving families struggling with hunger.

NDFCU employees organized a variety of creative fundraising events over several months, including raffles, dress-down days, car washes, and food sales. Their generous members also contributed however they could – whether through larger donations or simply purchasing treats in the branch. Small donations added up through the power of collective action.

“Our staff and members really came together with compassion for our local communities facing food insecurity,” said Ryan Poulin, CEO. “The credit union philosophy of ‘people helping people’ was on full display throughout the year. We’re grateful for everyone who donated their time and resources to make a difference.”

NDFCU’s contribution helped the statewide credit union campaign smash its $1 million goal by raising an impressive total of $1.22 million. The credit union remains committed to ongoing fundraising and volunteer efforts to continue supporting Maine communities through challenges with access to nutritious food.
