"Give a Dollar, Feed a Family" Campaign


In partnership with the Good Shepherd Food-Bank, Bangor Savings Bank is taking a leadership role in the fight against hunger in Maine with the "Give a Dollar, Feed a Family" campaign.
During the week of September 10th – 14th, Bangor Savings Bank will accept donations for the Good Shepherd Food-Bank at all 56 branch locations. Each $1 donation provides four meals for a Maine family facing hunger.
In Maine, nearly 200,000 people - or 15 percent of households - do not have access to enough food. One in four Maine children lack access to enough food to live a healthy life. Hunger affects every community in Maine – urban or rural, rich or poor, big or small.
We’re proud to take on this fundraising challenge with the Good Shepherd Food-Bank as part of Hunger Action Month, an effort organized by Feeding America. Hunger Action Month is a campaign to mobilize the public to raise awareness and take action in support of hunger relief.
Bangor Savings Bank is pleased to do its part to help fight hunger in Maine one family at a time. To learn more about Hunger Action Month activities in Maine, visitwww.MaineHungerAction.org.
