Kstate CREDIT UNION Donates $1,000 and 112 LBS of Food to Local Food Pantry

MANHATTAN, KS – May 28, 2020: Kstate CREDIT UNION presented a check for $1000 and 112 lbs of food to the Flint Hills Breadbasket, our community food pantry distributing to those in need.  The Flint Hills Breadbasket’s annual Project Manhattan food drive was cancelled due to restrictions and closings as a result of COVID-19. Kstate CREDIT UNION still wanted to help them out, therefore, we conducted an internal collection of money and food from our employees and board members.  The monetary gifts were then matched by the credit union.

LaRae Kraemer, President/CEO for Kstate CREDIT UNION said, “Our employees and board members are passionate about helping where they can in the community.”

The goal of the Flint Hills Breadbasket is to minimize hunger and poverty through the distribution of available food and to nurture projects that help alleviate hunger and poverty.  The donation from Kstate CREDIT UNION assists the Flint Hills Breadbasket in their mission.

Kstate CREDIT UNION has served the Manhattan, Kansas community for 74 years. For more information visit our website at www.kstatecu.com.
