In a heartfelt display of community collaboration, Tucson credit unions have joined hands with Mobile Meals of Southern Arizona to combat hunger and food insecurity. The businesses lending support include Vantage West Credit Union, Tucson Federal Credit Union, Pyramid Federal Credit Union, Pima Federal Credit Union, Tucson Old Pueblo Credit Union, Hughes Federal Credit Union, and the GoWest Foundation.
“It takes a united effort to address the issues of hunger and isolation in a community,” said Roger Clark, Board President of Mobile Meals of Southern Arizona.
Throughout the month of July, these credit unions will adopt delivery routes, with their leadership and staff stepping up to deliver essential meals to individuals and families facing hunger.
“The leadership and compassion demonstrated by our local credit unions is a testament to their commitment to Tucson and their investment in the long-term well-being of their members,” said Clark. “We at Mobile Meals of Southern Arizona thank each of the Credit Unions involved for their dedication and the culture of giving that they’ve fostered in their organizations.”
Mobile Meals of Southern Arizona has been a pillar of support for the community, providing meals and nourishment to vulnerable populations for years. This partnership between the credit unions and Mobile Meals of Southern Arizona underscores their shared commitment to supporting the Tucson community and addressing the pressing issue of food insecurity.
“The GoWest Foundation is proud to partner with Tucson-area credit unions as they collaborate to deliver meals to members of the Tucson community who are unable to cook or shop for themselves,” said Sharee Adkins, Chief Impact Officer and Foundation Executive Director of the GoWest Foundation. “Credit unions play such an important role in their communities and this work with Mobile Meals of Southern Arizona is such a wonderful example of community impact.”
The credit unions’ involvement in the adoption of delivery routes this July signifies their deep-rooted dedication to the Tucson community and their determination to be catalysts for positive change. By actively engaging their staff, volunteers, and resources, they are demonstrating the power of teamwork and the importance of supporting one another during challenging times.
