Celebrate
International Credit Union Month
and the credit union philosophy
Participate in the fourth annual statewide food collection
For the
fourth year, the Ohio Credit Union League is spearheading
a
statewide food drive during October and we encourage you
to participate.
Non-perishable food is a year-round need for thousands of
Ohioans. Food drives benefit the working poor, the
temporarily unemployed, seniors, veterans, single parent
families, hungry kids, and the homeless.
The Mid-Ohio FoodBank reports that EACH YEAR 193,000
different people receive emergency food assistance through
its network of pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters.
The food
collected by your credit unions should remain in your
communities to benefit those in need locally. The League
asks each credit union
choose the organization(s)
that will benefit from your generous donations. Choose one
or choose several.
If you have a box, you can participate.
It is that easy! Participating in the October
Credit Union Food Drive requires only that each credit
union gather non-perishable food items and coordinate
delivery to your chosen organization.
The
League will provide participating affiliated credit unions
with:
