Prices of
nearly everything are on the rise, unemployment in Ohio
have reached recent record highs, and the economic
forecasts show no signs of an upswing. Needless to say,
Ohioans are straining harder than ever to make ends meet,
and many will turn to local food banks and pantries for
assistance.
In
celebration of International Credit Union Month and
philosophy of "People Helping People," credit unions
throughout Ohio are encouraged to participate in the fifth
annual Ohio Credit Union Food Drive.
The
statewide drive will collect non-perishable food items to
benefit the working poor, temporarily unemployed, seniors,
veterans, single parent families, and children in need in
your local community.
Your
credit union simply needs a box to participate.
The food
collected by your credit unions should remain in your
communities to benefit those in need locally. Each credit union
chooses the organization(s)
that will benefit from its food drive. Choose one
or choose several.
The
Ohio Credit Union League is providing customizable lobby
posters, teller window posters, a newsletter article, and
a press release for participating credit unions. Download
the materials below.
Katie Walton
of the League can help your credit union
customize the posters.
The League will also
inform media outlets across the state about the food drive
