Erie Federal Credit Union donates 20K for food assistance in Erie County
Our community is facing some of the highest levels of hunger in years with upwards to 30% of Erie County residents experiencing food insecurity. To combat this growing community issue and for the 5th year in a row, Erie FCU is once again offering their “Give Hope – Feed the Need” campaign in support of local hunger awareness and food assistance.
Through this initiative, $20,000 was distributed to 10 Erie area organizations:
- Meals on Wheels
- Erie Salvation Army
- Emmaus Soup Kitchen
- Community of Caring
- St. Martin Center, Inc.
- Erie Martin Luther King Center
- Home House of Erie Food Pantry
- Bethany Outreach Center
- Edinboro Food Pantry
- Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest, PA
Each of these amazing organizations received a $2,000 check to be used for programs affiliated with supplying meals, nourishment and warm companionship to families and individuals who will be affected this winter. As a community partner, Erie FCU believes that no one should be hungry.
