09/19/2025
Evergreen Credit Union raised over $20,000 at their annual Disc Golf Scramble at Bittersweet Ridge Disc Golf Course in North Yarmouth. All event proceeds benefit the Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger.
22 teams played on the disc golf course in North Yarmouth, home to the annual Maine States Disc Golf Tournament. Lunch was catered from Paper City Barbeque of Westbrook, and the day wrapped up with raffles for disc golf memorabilia and gift cards to local businesses in southern Maine. “We appreciate all the businesses and organizations who donated and participated in the Disc Golf Scramble,” said Cole Rowland, planning committee lead for the tournament. “It gets all of us outside and supports our communities. At the end of the day, what more could you ask for?”
Maine Credit Unions’ The Campaign for Ending Hunger allows Maine’s credit unions to collectively give back to their communities by giving monetary donations to food shelters, closets, and cupboards across the state. All funds raised for this campaign directly support organizations that fight food insecurity.
“Raising money for the Campaign is vital to Evergreen’s mission and purpose,” said Jason Lindstrom, Evergreen Credit Union’s President/CEO. “With our financial support, we can help many communities at once. That’s what we’re all about: people helping people.”
The Campaign for Ending Hunger in Maine has contributed over $14.9 million since 1990 to end hunger in the state, with $1.3 million contributed in 2024 alone. Evergreen Credit Union is the 5th largest credit union in Maine, with over $610 million in assets and 5 branches serving all southern Maine.
