ALBANY, N.Y.–SEFCU here is joining with News10ABC and iHeartMedia Albany to help feed the community through a new online fundraising campaign called “No Neighbor Hungry.”
The campaign is running throughout June and is raising funds for seven special nonprofit organizations that are focused on feeding people in the Capital Region. To maximize this effort, SEFCU will match individual contributions for the first $100,000 raised.
The nonprofit organizations include South End Children’s Café, Feed Albany, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Capital Area, Boys & Girls Club of Schenectady, Saratoga County Economic Opportunity Council, Inc., Food Pantries for the Capital District and Catholic Charities.
‘Neighbors in Need’
“These organizations are working hard to help individuals, children and families struggling to make ends meet. With unemployment numbers spiking, many local businesses closed, and food pantries seeing an unprecedented increase in visitors due to the coronavirus, we have been inspired by the ways they have stepped up to ensure that our neighbors in need are fed and cared for,” said SEFCU President and CEO Michael Castellana. “The ‘No Neighbor Hungry’ campaign will help these organizations and their selfless employees and volunteers continue their effort. We are thrilled to partner with News10ABC and iHeartMedia Albany on this important initiative.”
News10ABC and iHeartMedia Albany will promote the “No Neighbor Hungry” campaign all month.
