SCARBOROUGH, Maine–As part of its “12 Days of Local Giving” initiative, Town & Country FCU said it will distribute $10,500 to local non-profits.
At a kick-off event held at the Locker Project in South Portland, the credit union made a $2,500 contribution to the organization and helped to pack hundreds of holiday bags to feed children and their families over the holiday break.
From Dec. 5-23, Town & Country will deliver financial contributions and, in some cases, also provide volunteer time to 12 non-profits in Cumberland and York County.
“Our objective through this new initiative is to both highlight and support local non-profits and to thank them for what they do for our community,” said David Libby, president and CEO of Town & Country. “The 12 non-profits selected represent a variety of causes including ending hunger, ending domestic violence, outdoor spaces, and protecting animals. We have a long history of looking for ways to make a difference not just by providing financial services to our members but to organizations that serve our community. The ’12 Days of Local Giving’ initiative is an opportunity to deposit some joy for the people and organizations who do so much to make where we live better.”
