Service CU Supports New Hampshire Food Bank with $50K Donation
July 18, 2022
PORTSMOUTH, NH [July 15, 2022] – Service Credit Union has donated $50,000 to benefit the NH Food Bank’s NH Feeding NH program.
The program, in partnership with the NH Food Alliance, NH Farm Bureau and NOFA-NH, is a statewide initiative designed to support the purchase of locally grown food to feed food insecure citizens with nutritious fruits, vegetables, dairy and protein throughout NH communities. This program, modeled after similar programs in Vermont and Maine, will not only support our local farmers, but will also help nourish communities in need, reduce food waste and replenish our local economy.
Service Credit Union is a longtime supporter of the NH Food Bank and this latest largescale donation is an example of the ways the two organizations work together to launch programs that best meet the changing needs of the communities they serve.
“The NH Food Bank continuously finds new ways to support NH communities in the most efficient and effective ways,” said Jaime Yates, Community Relations Manager at Service CU. “We too pride ourselves on supporting our communities here in our home state, and our members should also take pride in knowing this donation and support wouldn’t be possible without them.”
“Service Credit Union continues to be an incredible partner to the New Hampshire Food Bank, and we are so grateful to have them in our corner in the fight against hunger,” said Eileen Liponis, Executive Director, New Hampshire Food Bank. “This generous funding of our ‘NH Feeding NH’ program helps facilitate the growth of this initiative, which is designed to support the purchase of NH-grown food to feed our food insecure neighbors, as well as support our local farmers, help nourish communities in need, reduce food waste and replenish our local economy.”
