PLEASANTON, Calif.–1st United Credit Union has donated $10,000 donation to the Alameda County Community Food Bank. The credit union said the donation wraps up its seventh year participating in the Oakland A’s “Homeruns for Hunger” program coordinated in partnership with 95.7 The GAME, which they committed to donate $50 to the Food Bank for every Oakland A’s regular season home run.
1st United said it believes in supporting its local community and its hometown teams.
“Being able to tie in community giving with local sports teams is an added bonus – members and employees enjoy rooting for their local teams; knowing that every homerun provides food for the community gives that spirit new meaning,” the credit union said.
In all, it has donated more than $69,000 to the Food Bank through the Homeruns for Hunger over the past seven years.
