They were presented with a donation of $2,000 by chapter members to use towards helping members of the communities they serve be food secure.

“We are so grateful to the Battle Creek Chapter of Credit Unions for their continued support in the fight against hunger,” stated Sara Rising, Director of Development at the Food Bank of South Central Michigan. “It is because of partners like them that we are able to make a positive difference in our community. We can’t thank them enough for their outstanding generosity and heart towards those in need. The $2,000 donation equates to 12,000 meals!”
