Penquis recently received a wonderful donation from Maine Savings Federal Credit Union’s Hammond Street branch, which included cake mixes, candles, decorations, and all the fun things to make a birthday cake!![]()
How it all began:
Maine Savings Federal Credit Union teamed up with D-Max (found on Facebook under D-Max Merch) a sweet boy from Brewer named Dorian, who has a heart of gold and has done so much for his community, from little league funds raised for improvements, to cereal drives for schools and pantries, to cake drives. For his birthday, Dorian’s one wish was that every child would have the chance to blow out candles and enjoy cake on their birthday, regardless of financial constraints or other barriers. He even wrote a book this year, published when he was just 12yrs old, called “D-Max’s Birthday Wish”, which is about this wish, and his memories of making cake with his Mom.![]()
To help make that wish come true, Dorian asked Maine Savings Federal Credit Union to partner with him as a drop-off location and assist with sourcing donations throughout the month of September. Maine Savings Federal Credit Union branches came together, rallying members and community support to gather birthday supplies and help Dorian make birthdays a little sweeter for everyone.![]()
We hope the recipients find joy, just as Dorian has wished for. ![]()
These items are at Penquis' Harlow Street office in Bangor and will be given out on a first come, first served basis.![]()
Thank you, Maine Savings Federal Credit Union, for sharing the joy with us!
