First Harvest Credit Union carries out healthcare appreciation initiative for Southern New Jersey medical partners

Credit Union Volunteers distribute over 1,400 snack bags to healthcare partners as part of 85th anniversary giveback initiatives

Deptford, NJ (May 19, 2025) |

First Harvest Credit Union (“First Harvest”) celebrated local healthcare workers during National Nurses Week and National Hospitals Week by delivering over 1,400 snack bags to eight Select Employer Groups (SEGs) and partnering healthcare facilities throughout Southern New Jersey. This initiative is part of the credit union’s broader 85th Anniversary community giveback campaign, designed to support local organizations, essential workers, and families in the communities First Harvest proudly serves.

Each snack bag, thoughtfully prepared by First Harvest employees, included a variety of treats and a handwritten thank-you card created by the children of staff members who participated in the organization’s Bring Your Child to Work Day. These small heartfelt gestures served as tokens of appreciation for the dedication of healthcare workers across the region.

Benefitting healthcare organizations include:
  • AtlantiCare Health Services - FQHC Galloway (Galloway, NJ)
  • AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center - Atlantic City Campus (Atlantic City, NJ)
  • AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center - Mainland Campus (Pomona, NJ)
  • CompleteCare Health Network - Vineland Health Campus (Vineland, NJ)
  • Cooper University Health Care – Cardiology (Voorhees, NJ)
  • Jefferson Washington Township Hospital (Turnersville, NJ)
  • Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation – Marlton Campus (Marlton, NJ)
  • Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital (Camden, NJ)

“As part of our 85th Anniversary, we’ve made a commitment to elevate our legacy of giving back to the organizations and individuals who make our communities stronger, including the healthcare heroes who care for our neighbors every day,” stated First Harvest President & CEO, Mike Dinneen. “We’re proud of the lasting partnerships we’ve built with our local healthcare providers over the course of our 85 years, and we’re honored to take part in their employee appreciation events. Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue our community-focused initiatives with events like our Fall Shredder Day, teacher and school appreciation efforts, and expanded support for programs such as the New Jersey Credit Unions Food Cooperative and Adopt-A-Family.”
