WASHINGTON–The United States Senate FCU (USSFCU), working with Safeway Foundation, gave away $20,000 in gift cards early Christmas Eve morning in Washington DC’s ward 7.
USSFCU volunteers brought smiles to faces by surprising shoppers with 400, $50 gift cards at Safeway’s Alabama Ave. SE and 40th St. NE locations.
“We’re mindful that with the pandemic and with coronavirus just wreaking havoc on the economy, there are people that just can’t buy food, and you see it all across the country, you see it all across the region,” said Timothy Anderson, the president and CEO of the United States Senate Federal Credit Union. “We just want to make sure that we’re able to help people eat this Christmas. If we can just help just anyone that has a need this Christmas of putting food on the table, then that’s what we want to do.”
