AUSTIN, Texas - eTradeWire -- United Heritage Credit Union (UHCU) is proud to share the success of its partnership with Central Texas Food Bank, which raised funds and provided meals for families facing food insecurity in Texas. UHCU incorporated several initiatives to amplify messaging about the Central Texas Food Bank, such as a Food Drive in partnership with Fox 7 Austin, selling Hot Cocoa Kits in its branches, and holding a special lending promotion. Through all of these efforts and a donation from the United Heritage Charity Foundation, UHCU was able to donate a total of $31,800 to Central Texas Food Bank.

From December 9 to December 31, UHCU sold Hot Cocoa Kits and donated 50% of the proceeds directly to the Central Texas Food Bank. Each purchase provided 15 meals to families in need.

"With the sale of the Hot Cocoa Kits, United Heritage Credit Union raised $2,355 for the Central Texas Food Bank, which translated into 4,710 meals provided to families across Texas," said Kevin Farley, Vice President of Experience and Engagement at UHCU. "This partnership reflected our commitment to giving back to the communities we serve, especially during critical times."
