It was another successful season of giving, as Bay Federal Credit Union members and employees raised more than $14,000 for Second Harvest Food Bank’s holiday drive, held this past November and December.

The credit union, which has supported Second Harvest for 18 years, donated the equivalent of 68,250 healthy meals for local families. Additionally, more than 500 meals were made possible by donations of non-perishable food items at Bay Federal locations.

“We are proud of our history of partnering with Second Harvest,” Carrie Birkhofer, Bay Federal Credit Union President and CEO, was quoted as saying. “Second Harvest is an excellent example of an organization creating a lasting impact locally.”

Thanks to the people and businesses of Santa Cruz County, Second Harvest Food Bank was able to raise more than 4 million meals this past holiday drive. Read more.
