Redwood Credit Union launches holiday gift and porch-to-pantry food drives

Santa Rosa, Calif., November 25, 2025 — Redwood Credit Union (RCU) invites the community to give back this holiday season through its annual gift drive and a new porch-to-pantry food drive.  RCU has partnered with a nonprofit startup to launch an innovative model that makes it simple for anyone to make a difference. The program allows North Bay and San Francisco residents to donate food directly from their doorstep.

Community members can sign up to donate at any RCU branch or online at this link. On Saturday, Dec. 13, volunteers will pick up the shelf-stable foods from donors’ homes and deliver them to local food banks and pantries.

In addition, RCU’s 22 branches and RCU Auto Services are accepting gift items through mid-December for holiday distribution by local nonprofit agencies. The following is where to donate and the local organizations that will benefit. To find a branch near you, click here.

o   Drop off new, unwrapped toys at any RCU branch in Napa County from Nov. 28 to Dec. 15, supporting Toys for Tots. 

o   Drop off a new, unwrapped gift at the RCU Lower Lake branch Nov. 28 through Dec. 12  to support children in Lake County through Toys for Tots.

Last year, RCU distributed 947 gifts and collected 3,126 pounds of food—enough for 3,751 meals. Building on last year’s success, RCU hopes to provide even more gifts and meals to North Bay and San Francisco communities this holiday season.
