Hopewell Federal CU Supports Food Pantry with $1,500 Donation Despite Pandemic

HEATH / NEWARK / JOHNSTOWN, OH – September 1, 2020—Hopewell Federal Credit Union (HFCU), supported the Food Pantry Network of Licking County (FPN) with a donation of $1500.00.  During the month of May, HFCU welcomed new members who joined the Hopewell family with a donation on their behalf to the FPN of Licking County.  This donation totaled $1000.  Additionally, each Friday, the team paid one dollar to have the privilege to wear jeans.  The funds collected throughout the year, totaled $500, and were added to the member donation. 

Annually, HFCU supports FPN with its Operation Feed campaign; however, with COVID-19, this was impossible.  The Operation Feed Campaign generates approximately 35% of the funding and food needed annually by the Food Pantry Network of Licking County. Though we were in the middle of these crazy chaotic times, the need for donations at FNP did not go away.  The staff at HFCU knew they wanted to do something to show support, even it is was not with their typical annual campaign.
