High Point FCU Donates $11,000 to Local Food Pantries

High Point FCU continued its commitment to fighting food insecurity this year by donating a total of $11,000 to support local food pantries throughout its field of membership. This annual contribution reflects the credit union’s dedication to strengthening the communities it serves and living out the credit union philosophy of people helping people.

This year’s donations supported the following food pantries: Olean Food Pantry, Creekside Chapel, Portville Community Food Pantry, Harvest Field Outreach Center, CAC Food Pantry, Salvation Army of Bradford Food Pantry, Hinsdale Ischua Food Pantry, Little Valley Food Pantry, Duke Center UMC Food Pantry, and Bolivar Food Pantry. Three of these organizations—Little Valley Food Pantry, Duke Center UMC Food Pantry, and Bolivar Food Pantry—were added this year. Each food pantry received a $1,000 donation. In addition, High Point FCU employees held a “Casual for a Cause” fundraiser, raising additional funds so that every food pantry also received an extra $100, for a total of $1,100 per pantry.

“Giving back is a core part of who we are,” said Rich Yeager, President & CEO of High Point FCU. “We’re proud to expand our support this year and stand alongside the organizations working to address food insecurity in our communities.” High Point FCU is the second largest credit union in Western New York, with assets of over $400 million. The credit union serves more than 20,000 members through four branch locations: 1201 Wayne Street in Olean, 180 West Main Street in Allegany, 160 South Main Street in Portville, and 1035 East Main Street in Bradford, PA.
