JAY, Maine –OTIS Federal Credit Union held a yard sale in its member parking lot to raise money for the Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger. Eight employees volunteered their time between the sale’s hours of 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. This year’s annual yard sale raised a record $2,126.72 for the Campaign for Ending Hunger in Maine.
“Once again, our community members’ generosity has come through,” said VP Darice Dubreuil, who is also co-chair of its Ending Hunger Committee. “They support the credit union’s efforts for Ending Hunger year after year. We cannot thank them enough for their support and kindness. As anyone knows, a yard sale can be a large task to put on, but our awesome staff came through once again. We enjoy spending this time together and it must show, as we had a couple of different ‘shoppers’ say to us that they loved seeing how much fun we were all having.”
All funds raised will stay within the community and are disbursed to several local food pantries and hunger organizations.
