CLACKAMAS, Ore–Clackamas Federal Credit Union (Clackamas) has donated $10,000 to the life-saving organization Clackamas Service Center, and with the donation Clackamas FCU has now given a total of $50,000 to the organization.
During October, Clackamas Service Center served more than 1,000 households representing nearly 2,500 individuals, 500 of whom were children. This support will help Clackamas Service Center cover food storage costs and vital facility maintenance, so they can focus time and energy on supporting their community members, the credit union said.
“We are incredibly grateful for Clackamas Federal Credit Union’s donation. Distributing over 60,000 pounds of food each month calls for a lot of refrigeration,” said Executive Director Debra Mason. “We believe that everyone deserves access to fresh, nutritious food, and we're so lucky to have community partners like Clackamas Federal Credit Union who support this vision. Thank you for standing with us against hunger and food insecurity!”
Clackamas Service Center offers life-saving services through a trauma informed lens. Thousands of people turn to Clackamas Service Center to access services including medical care, hot meals in a restaurant-style setting, warm showers, clothing, groceries in a shopping-style market, and other support.
“Clackamas Service Center does amazing work providing critical services to the thousands of food and housing insecure families in our community,” said Clackamas FCU CEO Aaron Goff, “It’s hard to imagine an organization more deserving of our support, we are certainly proud to help.”
