Credit Union Employees Raise Money to Benefit Hidden Harvest

HIDDEN HARVESTMIDLAND, MICH. Employees at Dow Chemical Employees Credit Union raised more than $350 for Hidden Harvest through their most recent "Jeans Day" fundraiser. For each of the one-day fundraisers, which occur throughout the year, participating DCECU employees donate a minimum of $5, which entitles them to wear blue jeans, tennis shoes and logoed attire to work that day.

Hidden Harvest rescues thousands of pounds of food from hospitals, hotels, restaurants, wholesalers, bakeries, grocery stores, and other health-department- or USDA-approved sources. This food is immediately delivered, free of charge, to soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters and other nonprofit community programs in the Great Lakes Bay Region. "DCECU regularly promotes fundraisers to help support nonprofit organizations that assist members of our regional community," said DCECU President/CEO Dennis Hanson. "Through donations and volunteerism, we emphasize the importance of being supportive of local community organizations and of giving back year-round."
