Stamford Credit Unions Donate $4,000 to Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County

Stamford-area credit unions and the Connecticut Credit Union Charitable Foundation have donated $4,000 to The Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County which was in need of providing more turkeys than ever for the holiday.

The donated funds were raised through an annual raffle supported by Connecticut’s credit unions and their members. The Connecticut Credit Union Charitable Foundation is a non-profit organization representing Connecticut’s credit unions through charitable giving with a mission to help feed those in need throughout the state.

The Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County is the area’s primary hunger-relief organization. They provide food to any qualified non-profit agency in a six-town area of Fairfield County (Darien, Greenwich, New Canaan, Norwalk, Stamford and Wilton) that serves low-income people through congregate meals or bags of groceries.
