Rapid City, S.D., January 24, 2023 – Black Hills Federal Credit Union (BHFCU) recently donated $1,600 to Meals on Wheels Western South Dakota. The donation helped cover the costs of more than 400 meals.
As a part of their Community Action Team (CAT) program, BHFCU participates annually in Meals on Wheels Western South Dakota’s Gingerbread Man Fundraiser. The fundraiser allows staff and members to donate specific amounts to help cover a correlating number of meals. For every $4 donated, a meal is sponsored for a local senior.
“Each year, our staff and members look forward to contributing to the work of Meals on Wheels Western South Dakota,” said Brichelle Burnett, Accountant. “Instantly knowing the impact you are making for those in need through the meal count makes it even more meaningful to donate.”
Meals on Wheels Western South Dakota provides western South Dakota seniors in 49 communities with nutritious noontime meals delivered directly to their door on weekdays, with options for support in the evenings and on weekends. Meals are also provided in person in 16 communities.
BHFCU achieves its mission of improving lives by offering ways for employees to support their community. Run internally by staff members, BHFCU developed the CAT program in 1996 to provide staff the opportunity to fundraise for and provide resources to causes near to their hearts. BHFCU supports community needs through corporate contributions, employee fundraisers, and donations to the Black Hills FCU Charitable Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
