DuPage Credit Union Donates $17,500 to Local Food Banks

DuPage Credit Union has donated a total of $17,500 to two local food banks: $15,000 to Northern Illinois Food Bank in Geneva and $2,500 to Loaves & Fishes in Naperville.

“With the recent SNAP cuts, we’re seeing a significant increase in neighbors and expecting an additional 100,000–115,000 visits in November alone,” said Christine Fisher, Brand and Cause Marketing Manager at Northern Illinois Food Bank.

“DuPage Credit Union’s generous donation will help us secure even more food for our neighbors in need. Because every $1 donated provides $8 worth of groceries, your gift will supply an incredible $120,000 worth of nutritious food to families across Northern Illinois.”

As demand for food assistance climbs and local pantries work to keep up with need, DuPage Credit Union emphasized the importance of supporting these organizations.

“We’re grateful to support local food banks as they work tirelessly to meet the rising demand in our community,” said Amy Brandt, DuPage Credit Union’s Chief Experience Officer.
