KALAMAZOO, Mich.–To celebrate 10 years since officially changing its name, Advia Credit Union has launched a canned food drive that is to run through Feb. 9.
During this campaign, the credit union said it is encouraging people to contribute unexpired non-perishable items at any of Advia's 28 branch locations. The collected donations will be distributed to local non-profit food agencies during the week of Feb. 12, making a direct impact on alleviating hunger and supporting those in need.
"In different chapters of my life, I have personally grappled with the harsh reality of food insecurity,” said Alex Minor, Advia’s community development officer. “Being part of an organization that is dedicated to actively combatting food insecurity in our communities resonates deeply with me. It's a cause that fills my heart with purpose. Join us in our mission, as anyone can find themselves facing food insecurity at any given moment. Together, let's make a difference and ensure that no one goes hungry."
Minor added that Advia's social mission pillars align with the goal of creating a lasting impact, and the canned food drive is a tangible way for the organization and its community members to contribute to a more sustainable and supportive future.
