Now until October 17th, head to your local Stride Credit Union to donate non-perishable food items, or make a monetary donation that will be matched 100% up to $7,000. With your donation, you’ll also be entered to win $1000 in Co-op gift cards!
Stride Credit Union has long upheld one key value: supporting the community.
“One of the cooperative principles that all Credit Unions guide themselves by is concern for the community,” said Brent Budz, CEO, Stride Credit Union. “It’s part of our proverbial DNA as an organization to give back to our communities.”
As we make our way into the holiday season, Stride is running their “Fill the Pantry” campaign to help families in need get food on the table.
“There are a lot of areas where food insecurity is a real issue,” said Budz, “So we felt it was important for us, as Stride Credit Union, to try to give back a little bit.”
Donations will be accepted at all Stride Credit Union locations in Austin, Gladstone, MacGregor, Neepawa, and Portage la Prairie.
“There's a huge need out there for people to come together and contribute what they can” said Budz. “We want to help as much as possible, so proceeds and donated food items will be spread out across the Portage Salvation Army, the Neepawa Salvation Army, the MacGregor-Austin Food Vault, and the Gladstone Food Cupboard.”
This Thanksgiving, join Stride Credit Union in supporting your community and ensuring that every neighbor has access to food. Together, we can make a difference!
