York County FCU Runs to End Hunger in Maine

SANFORD, Maine, May 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — For the second year in a row, York County FCU’s Ending Hunger Committee is partnering with York County Shelter Programs in hosting their annual 5K run/walk. This year’s Run to End Hunger will be held on Saturday, May 19 at the programs’ campus in Alfred. All of the proceeds will benefit the fight to end hunger in York County, Maine. The event attracted over 60 runners and walkers last year, and is expected to be successful again with the new scenic countryside course.

“As we approach our 2^nd Annual Run to End Hunger we are excited to have so many volunteers and sponsors supporting us. This race is our largest fundraiser of the year, and we hope to give back to YCSP just as much, if not more, as last year to help feed food-deprived residents in their community,” said Erin Jones, Chair of York County FCU’s Ending Hunger Committee.

Last year’s 5K raised over $15,000. This was just small piece of the $56,677 total raised by York County FCU’s Ending Hunger Committee in 2017, which put the credit union in second place among others in Maine who participate in this fundraising effort. Each spring, York County FCU distributes the previous year’s funds back to local food pantries and soup kitchens across York County.
