SCHEREVILLE, Ind.–With more than 100,000 individuals in Northwest Indiana being food insecure, Advance Financial FCU supported the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana and the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program.
The support at this time of the year is in addition to the annual fundraisers conducted by the credit union for these two charitable organizations.
“We believe strongly in the missions of these two organizations and decided to up the ante this year,” stated Janice A. Vamos, Chairperson of AFFCU.
“When the suggestion was made for the board to add financial support to these two organizations, we all rallied behind the motion,” commented Vice Chairman, Marilyn Peto.
In addition to donating food items, AFFCU raised nearly $900 this year for the Food Bank of NWI, which translates into nearly 3,000 meals. The credit union also helped to grant the wishes of 40 Angels in need of a Christmas gift in the Angel Tree program.
