Wildfire Credit Union is proud to announce a program that lends a helping hand.

This holiday season, Wildfire is doing something new and very special.  Through a partnership with Hidden Harvest and several area food pantries, Wildfire will provide food bags loaded with shelf-stable food to families in need.  Each bag will contain enough food items to feed a family for up to one week.

From November 1st – December 31st, bags will be available for purchase for $10 at all Wildfire branch locations.  Each branch is partnered with area food pantries who will take the sold bags and distribute them through their food pantries.  There will also be enough room in the bags to accommodate fresh items from the pantries.

Tim Benecke, CEO, commented:  “Our marketing team brought this idea to one of our meetings, and we decided to run with it.  We reached out to Hidden Harvest and brought the idea to reality.  Wildfire has always been committed to our communities, and there is no better way to reflect that commitment than to give back to the communities in a way that provides a real benefit.”

Through the partnership with Hidden Harvest, Wildfire was able to obtain the shelf-stable food. Wildfire employees volunteered and packed all 1,000 bags for families and an additional 150 bags for pets.

All proceeds from the bags sold will go to Hidden Harvest to further support their mission to alleviate hunger and reduce food waste in the Great Lakes Bay Region.
