PITTSBURGH–Clearview Federal Credit Union celebrated its 65th anniversary during 2018 by donating to five different charities and giving them 65 items each.
The North Hills Community Outreach Food Pantry, located in Allegheny County, received 65 cleaning supplies. North Hills Community Outreach operates three food pantries in the northern suburbs of Pittsburgh and provides food and necessities to nearly 700 families each month.
The Manna Soup Kitchen, which is located in Beaver County, received 65 hams. Manna Soup Kitchen is a program within the House of Prayer Lutheran Church that provides free meals to those in need every Tuesday night.
