Innovation Federal Credit Union Food Security Campaign

Inflation is still being felt by all of us, especially those in need.

Their reliance on charitable organizations to help them get by and even to survive is critical. Yet those very organizations also feel the trickle-down effect of inflation – greatly impacting their ability to serve those in need.

Innovation has long been committed to making a difference in the communities we serve. One of our most impactful initiatives is addressing food insecurity. The Innovation Food Security Campaign supports local registered charitable organizations. View a blog on the program's history!

Since 2021, this Campaign has expanded its reach by partnering with more organizations in more communities. Our members make this possible!

If you would like to donate as well, please see the listing of the 14 organizations we have chosen to partner with.
