ATLANTA, GA �- Georgia United Credit Union invites you to participate in our annual "CAN HUNGER" food drive benefiting local food banks in our communities,
February 1 through February 29. Help us stock the shelves of your local food pantry and feed neighbors in need.
Locally, donations may be dropped off at one of Georgia Uniteds branches or you can make a $1 donation and Georgia United will purchase a food item for you.
The most requested/needed items are:
- Peanut butter
- Canned tuna & chicken
- Canned fruit & vegetables
- Canned soups, stews and pasta
- 100% fruit juice
- Boxed pasta and rice
For the last four years, all 18 Georgia United Branches across the state has collected canned goods for local food banks during February.
Since that time, GUCU has raised 147,914 cans or 73 tons of food! (Using these Metrics:� One 16 oz. can = 1 lb.; $1.00 donation= 1 lb.; 1 ton = 2,000 pounds).
"The Can Hunger initiative provides the opportunity to help families in need our community," says Debbie Smith, Georgia United President and CEO. "Every small monetary donation largely impacts our ability to feed those who are less fortunate within the community. Its time to assist our local food banks and we need your help!"
