WESTBROOK, Maine — Maine credit unions are again coming to the assistance of the state's hungry by raising more than $40,000 in 2008, including a special gift in memory of a special food bank leader who died in 2004.

With a $10,000 donation in honor of the late JoAnn Pike, founder and executive director of the Good Shepherd Food Bank, the league is on track to surpass the $33,000 contributed a year ago.

The "Giving of the Green" ceremonies to present the $10,000 JoAnn Pike check on the four-year anniversary of her death from cancer were held on St. Patrick's Day with food bank and CU leaders in attendance.
