YORK, PA (December 23, 2014) -- Christmas is a time of giving and members and employees of First Capital Federal Credit Union have certainly gotten into the spirit. Dozens of toys came in to each First Capital branch to be donated to Toys for Tots, a program created by the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve to help needy children. Hats and mittens are also starting to fill up the hat and mitten tree. The cold weather gear will be donated to Family-Child Resources and the Children’s Home of York in January to help children in need. In addition, canned goods were collected from November – December for the York County Food Bank. In November we made the first delivery to the York County Food Bank and it totaled 137 pounds of assorted food. Yesterday, we donated another 130 pounds of food and presented them with a check for $140. “It’s a busy time of year, but First Capital employees and members continue to open their hearts and wallets to help others,” said Tara Houser, VP of Marketing. “That’s what the credit union philosophy of People Helping People is all about!”
First Capital Federal Credit Union is a $160 million asset-size, credit union with more than 17,000 members based in York, PA. Founded in 1954 as S. Morgan Smith Credit Union, First Capital has merged and grown, and continues to work closely with about 400 companies and organizations throughout York County and across the country.
