American Heritage invites members, community to take part in food drive

American Heritage Credit Union invites its credit union members and the community to help collect 20,000 pounds of food in its 10th annual Spirit of Giving Food Drive.

All nonperishable food donations will be distributed to various food pantries and food banks throughout the region the credit union serves. The Spirit of Giving Food Drive is a part of American Heritage’s annual holiday initiatives and provides much needed meals, nonperishable food items, and monetary donations to local families and organizations in need.

The donations will be collected from now until Nov. 25 at all 35-plus American Heritage branch locations. Nonperishable goods such as soups, canned meat and vegetables, rice and pasta are at a higher demand this time of year, primarily due to Thanksgiving and December holidays. You can find the closest American Heritage branch near you by visiting AmericanHeritageCU.org/Locations.

Each American Heritage branch will collect goods for a food bank or organization that directly supports families in the area where the branch is located. Food banks and organizations in Bucks County that will receive donations from this year’s Spirit of Giving Food Drive include: Family Service Association of Bucks County Food Pantry; New Britain Baptist Church & Food Pantry; Pennridge Fish; Quakertown Food Pantry; and Warminster Food Bank.
