During October and November, Merrimack Valley Credit Union (MVCU) held its annual food drive in each of its 19 retail branch locations. The drive supported organizations in locations ranging from southern New Hampshire to the south coast of Massachusetts.
MVCU branches collected nonperishable food items from team members and members in celebration of the season of giving. Branch managers and their teams were encouraged to choose organizations that operate in their respective areas to have a direct impact on the communities they serve. Pantries that received donations included:

“It is our honor and pleasure to support community food pantries during the holiday season,” says MVCU’s Vice President of Retail Banking Jim Potter. “These organizations play such an important role in providing families with meals during the holidays and our team members really enjoy supporting those that are close to their workplace and the members they help each day.”
The credit union is now hosting its annual toy drive at every one of its branches. Please bring new, unwrapped toys to your local branch and help spread joy to children in need this holiday season. Visit www.mvcu.com/locations to find the branch closest to you!
