Feeding Families
Every donation, large or small, makes a difference. Together, we can ensure no family in our community goes hungry.
With the holiday season around the corner, our community needs support.
To help address this urgent need, the OCCU Foundation is making a direct appeal to our members and communities: please consider donating to the OCCU Foundation Feeding Families Fund. Your contribution empowers our local partners to deliver essential food assistance to families who need it most. The OCCU Foundation will match up to $50,000 in contributions, doubling the impact of every dollar donated.
Since November 1, we have raised more than $20,000, and those donations have been matched, helping us to distribute vital resources to nonprofit partners statewide. With your continued support, we can reach even more families in need.
Every donation, no matter the size, truly makes a difference. Together, we can ensure that no family in our community goes hungry.
Thank you for your ongoing support and for helping the OCCU Foundation enrich lives.
