Downeast Credit Union and Insurance recently donated $989 to the Irene Chadbourne Ecumenical Food Pantry. This is part of the Ending Hunger in Maine campaign, a statewide initiative supported by Maine’s credit unions to fight food insecurity.

“The Irene Chadbourne Ecumenical Food Pantry noted that our donation came at a wonderful time — as they had just received a large, unexpected bill,” stated Calais Branch Manager Kaileigh Deacon. “It feels good knowing our fundraising efforts really do make a difference in our community.”
