LUTHERVILLE, Md.–First Financial FCU has made a $10,000 donation to Carroll County Food Sunday.
"Food insecurity in Carroll County has grown since mid-March as more families experience hardships brought on by the pandemic," said Carroll County Food Sunday Executive Director Ed Leister. "This generous gift from First Financial Federal Credit Union will help meet the expanded need now and will help us continue to serve the hundreds of individuals and families in the county who need supplemental and emergency food throughout the year.”
“For over 25 years, we have had the opportunity to proudly serve and get to know the Carroll County community,” said Eric Church, First Financial President/CEO. “As the pandemic continues to create challenges and uncertainty, we understand the positive impact on the community by partnering with organizations, like Carroll County Food Sunday. Together we can provide meaningful assistance to people and families throughout the county.”
First Financial said it also serves many of the organizations working on the front lines, such as Carroll County Public Schools, Carroll Lutheran Village and Carroll Hospital Center. In an effort to provide some relief to their groups, the credit union has contributed more than an additional $10,000 in meals and gift cards to the essential employees as well as donations to the healthcare systems’ emergency relief funds.
