Nymeo will donate ½ cent per debit card swipe on every point of sale transaction made by its Credit Union’s members! 251,730 children are food insecure in the State of Maryland everyday and 43% of these children do not qualify for other programs. All proceeds from this program will go to the Maryland Food Bank’s School Pantry Program in Frederick County. President and CEO, Victoria Johnston stated, “Nymeo is part of the Frederick community and we want to give every child in that community the chance to succeed. The school food pantries provide a basic need to a child to help them be more successful in school.

Nymeo is proud to support this program and we hope our members will support it as well.” The first donation was presented to the Maryland Food Bank on May 29thin the amount of $4,691, and includes a one-time donation from Fiserv, Nymeo’s debit card processor.
