The folks at Bangor Federal Credit Union held their annual Ending Hunger in Maine celebration Thursday.

The credit union handed out almost 12-thousand dollars to the community.

The bank branches have fundraised for the campaign throughout the past year.

And were able to give money to 7 organizations.

The Good Shepherd Food Bank was the biggest recipient, receiving over 5-thousand dollars.

"It's something that we all put our hearts into to end hunger in Maine. No family, no child should ever have to go to bed hungry in Maine."

" This will feed thousands of people. Good Shepherd is a provider of food, we're just the suppliers. But we supply enough food to feed 36,000 people a week. And this will go a long way to feed a number of people in this general area."

Organizers say they can't wait to do the campaign again next year.
