Scenic Community Credit Union is proud to announce the successful completion of its recent community food drive for the Chattanooga Area Food Bank. Through generous support from members, staff, and the credit union itself, the campaign made a meaningful impact on local hunger relief efforts.
During the drive, all Scenic Community Credit Union branches served as donation drop-off points for non-perishable food items, according to a news release. Members also contributed $140 in monetary donations, demonstrating the power of small gifts adding up to create change. In addition, several staff members volunteered their time at the Food Bank’s warehouse stocking school lunch packs and assisting community members shopping at the Foxwood distribution site.
To further support the Food Bank’s mission, Scenic Community Credit Union made a direct donation of $5,000 to help offset the growing need for services in the face of recent funding cuts and rising food costs.
“My volunteer experience with the Chattanooga Area Food Bank was incredibly rewarding,” Tami Powroznik, vice president/compliance officer, said in the release. “The hands-on service provided a tangible sense of the impact our efforts can have on our community. In addition to serving others, this experience also allowed me to build strong personal connections with coworkers.”
