LEWISTON – As part of the fourth annual Maine Credit Unions’ Ending Hunger Walking Tour, Maine’s credit unions have partnered with Cross Roads Ministries, an Old Town-based hunger agency, to cover the state on foot to raise awareness of hunger in Maine.
Brenda Davis, executive director of Cross Roads Ministries, will travel from Madawaska to Kittery in November, walking approximately 25 to 35 miles a day to bring awareness to the severity that hunger exists in Maine.
Davis will visit food pantries, hunger organizations and credit unions in each town she visits. At each credit union, she will pick up a contribution from the Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger.
In addition, the campaign is contributing nearly $5,000 to food pantries throughout Maine. A food pantry in each community that Davis visits will receive a $100 contribution. She began her month-long journey in South Portland.
The walk, which is expected to encompass nearly 700 miles, will bring Davis to Maine Family Federal Credit Union in Lewiston on Friday, Nov. 18.
