Partner with Us and Give to the Vermont Foodbank

VSECU recently donated $40,000 to the Vermont Foodbank and in keeping with our people helping people philosophy, we encourage you to join us and give too.

The Vermont Foodbank has seen a 35-40 percent spike in demand for charitable food this year.  Every penny helps to fight against hunger in our communities for those struglling to make ends meet. 

“VSECU’s board of directors has recognized that current economic conditions make the need for food assistance in Vermont particularly urgent,” said Judy Rosenstreich. “VSECU is grateful to its members that their loyal support of our financial cooperative has allowed us to help others through this $40,000 donation to the Vermont Foodbank. Our long relationship with the Vermont Foodbank has allowed us to witness firsthand how effective they are in helping hungry Vermonters.”

Now you have an opportunity to partner with the Vermont Foodbank and VSECU by making a donation through VGives. VGives makes it easy for individual members and non-members to support the great work of the Foodbank by making a donation at a branch office or online through Dec. 31, 2009. Please consider making a donation and help create a hunger-free Vermont.
