BrightBridge Credit Union reports it recent drive collected nearly 2,500 pounds of nonperishable food items, which were donated to regional food banks and pantries to support as many of the credit union’s communities as possible.
The credit union’s annual Holiday Food Drive, conducted across all 19 retail branch locations, concluded earlier this month. Donated items went to Merrimack Valley Food Bank, Healthy Waltham, Damien’s Food Pantry in Wareham and Lawrenmce-based Waystone Health & Human Services.
“Extending our food drive this year allowed us to support even more community members for a longer period, helping those who may be struggling during the holidays,” said BrightBridge Senior Vice President and Chief Culture Officer Anthony Marino. “As a credit union, helping people is at the heart of our mission and I was so proud to see both my team members and our members embrace the season of giving. It reminds us of how amazing and powerful it is to come together as a community.”
BrightBridge officials said there were two donation drop-offs—one before Thanksgiving and another during the second week of December to provide additional support during the broader holiday season.
