CAMBRIDGE, Minn. On March 4, 2015, Kirstin Bruss, Peggy Durkot and Christine Scheiller, Minnco Credit Union Branch Vice Presidents, presented a "big check" for $1,100 to Family Pathways.� On hand to accept the donation from Family Pathways was Susanna Dewey, Food Shelf Coordinator.
Minnco employees enjoy not only serving members, but their communities as well.� In addition to providing drop-off areas for food shelf donations in all Minnco locations, Minnco employees, past and present, compiled their favorite recipes into a cookbook that was available for purchase.� Employees decided that all profits from the cookbook sales would be donated to local food shelves.� Minnco started selling the cookbooks in the fall of 2010 and made their first donation of profits in 2011.� Because of the success, Minnco ordered more cookbooks, which recently sold out.
Minnco is also making donations to Family Pathways in North Branch and ACBC Food Shelf in Anoka, for a grand total of $2,400 in donations.� Minnco chose to make the donations in March in order to double their efforts.� Each year during the month of March, Family Pathways participates in a statewide food and fund drive to restock pantry shelves. For donors efforts, a portion of every dollar and pound of food raised is matched by Minnesota FoodShare.
