HEATH / NEWARK, Ohio—Hopewell Federal Credit Union (HFCU) once again offered its support to the Food Pantry Network of Licking County for its Operation Feed campaign. The members and staff collected 139 pounds of food and cash donations totaling over $600.00.
The HFCU staff created donation drop off locations at both the Heath and Newark offices. Special events including bake sale, pot luck, and guess the number of candy pieces in a jar were also held to increase donations. In addition, their annual member appreciation event, The Spring Hop, invited people to support the cause with a donation of a non perishable food item.
The Operation Feed Campaign generates approximately 15% of the food and 50% of the funding needed annually by the Food Pantry Network of Licking County.
