PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (September 6, 2013) --- With New Hampshire Food Bank facing low supply and high demand this summer and early fall, Service Credit Union has once again stepped up with a welcomed contribution.
Service Credit Union has been a perennial supporter during the holiday season for close to a decade, but summer is traditionally a tough season for the food bank. People focus more on donating during the holiday seasons.
Service Credit Union President/CEO Gordon Simmons and Barbara Roberge, Service Credit Union Board of Directors Chair, presented a $10,000 check to New Hampshire Food Bank Executive Director Melanie Gosselin to help keep the shelves well stocked. This contribution will help feed hundreds across the state in the communities where Service Credit Union does business.
"Were proud to help our state food bank which does a wonderful job of fighting hunger in our communities," says Simmons. "Service Credit Union is fortunate to be able to step up during these times of extreme need for the New Hampshire Food Bank."
Service Credit Union has made a considerable donation to the food bank for eight straight years to assist the agency during its critical times of need. The contribution could not have come at better time as New Hampshire Food Bank officials describe this years demand for food as one of most severe in years.
"We thank Service Credit Union for being a tremendous supporter of the New Hampshire Food Bank for many years," Gosselin said. "This donation in particular comes at a time when the people of the state really need it. This has been a remarkable partnership throughout the years. They have been an outstanding corporate citizen."
"Service Credit Union is honored to help The New Hampshire Food Bank fulfill its mission of helping the less fortunate in our communities. The Food Bank supplies local food pantries with their food to become beneficiaries of donations like the one from Service Credit Union," said Roberge.
