HARRISBURG, Penn.–Pennsylvania State Employees Credit Union (PSECU) said it is again working during October, which is Tackling Hunger Month, to raise funds for the state’s food banks.
According to PSECU, nearly two-million Pennsylvanians struggle with hunger, 500,000 of whom are children.
“While food banks can help to meet these needs, Pennsylvania’s charitable food network has seen an unprecedented rise in demand since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying economic downturn,” the credit union said.
Longstanding History
PSECU said it has a longstanding history of supporting those facing food insecurity in the commonwealth and has forged strong relationships with Feeding Pennsylvania and select member food banks across the state. PSECU has contributed more than $500,000 to combat food insecurity over the last five years.
Partnering with eight Feeding Pennsylvania member food banks across the state, PSECU said it is inviting its members to join them in a day of volunteerism. Members can register in advance to volunteer on Oct. 26, 2022 at one of the eight food banks listed below. Volunteers who share photos of their experience on social media can help raise additional funds for the food bank, as PSECU said it will donate $5 for each like the photos receive (up to $5,000 total).
A ‘Direct Impact’
“PSECU believes in the credit union philosophy of people helping people,” said Karen Rousche, PSECU’s community relations coordinator. “This philosophy inspires us to support the community and provide resources to help the greatest number of individuals, families, and businesses. Addressing food insecurity is a way that we can have a direct impact on improving the everyday lives of our neighbors. We want to inspire others to do the same.”
In addition to the volunteer initiative on October 26, PSECU said it will be making a $40,000 donation to Feeding Pennsylvania.
