PLEASANTON, CA (October 11, 2018): 1st United Credit Union knocks community support out of the park with a $10,000 donation to the Alameda County Community Food Bank. The donation wraps up the Credit Union’s seventh year participating in the Oakland A’s “Homeruns for Hunger” program coordinated in partnership with 95.7 The GAME (KGMZ-FM) in which they committed to donate $50 to the Food Bank for every Oakland A’s regular season homerun.

1st United believes in supporting their local community and their hometown teams. Being able to tie in community giving with local sports teams is an added bonus – members and employees enjoy rooting for their local teams; knowing that every homerun provides food for the community gives that spirit new meaning.  All-in-all, the Credit Union has donated over $69,000 to the Food Bank through the Homeruns for Hunger over the past seven years.                                                                                                                               

1st United Credit Union’s Chief Executive Officer, Steve Stone, and Chief Operating Officer, Ed Renteria, presented the check at a recent A’s game. Elizabeth Gomez, Director of Client Services accepted the check on behalf of the Alameda County Community Food Bank.
