PHILADELPHIA, PA (December 22, 2025) |
American Heritage Credit Union (“American Heritage”) is proud to have collected more than 10,000 pounds of food to donate to local food pantries and community organizations through its 12th annual Spirit of Giving Food Drive. Additionally, American Heritage donated $50,000 to these organizations to support their missions.
Each American Heritage branch collected goods for a food bank or organization that directly supports families in the area the branch is located. Food banks and organizations who received donations from this year’s Spirit of Giving Food Drive included:
|
Bread of Heaven Food Pantry Bryn Mawr Ave Church of God Food Pantry Catholic Social Services Martha’s Choice Marketplace Coventry Food Pantry Daily Bread Community Food Pantry Family Service Association of Bucks County Food Pantry Food Bank of South Jersey Gloucester County Pine Hill Rotary Club Food Pantry Laurel House Manna on Main Street
|
New Britain Baptist Church & Food Pantry Philabundance Quakertown Food Pantry Seeds of Hope Community Food Pantry The Salvation Army Kroc Center Share Food Program Upper Merion Area Community Cupboard Warminster Food Bank Wayne Church Food Pantry |
Due to increased community need and rising food insecurity, American Heritage associates worked quickly to deliver the donations to these food pantries and community organizations ahead of Thanksgiving and the winter holidays. Additionally, $20,000 was donated amongst these organizations to support their respective missions into 2026 and beyond.
American Heritage also donated $30,000 in ShopRite gift cards to ten Workplace Partners. These organizations are workplaces throughout American Heritage’s service area that provide credit union membership to their associates as an added benefit at no cost. This kind of gift is beneficial to these partners, as it allows them to buy essentials beyond food, such as diapers, personal care and hygiene items, and foods that fit their specific dietary, cultural, and personal needs. Workplace Partners that received this gift include:
|
Bristol Borough Fire and Police Catholic Community Services CORA Gemma Services Laurel House Liberty Lutheran – West Philadelphia Senior Community Center |
Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital Partnership for Community Supports Providence Center Quality Progressions

“The drastic need for food this season was recognized by our entire American Heritage community, including our Board of Directors, associates, and members,” said Bruce K. Foulke, President & CEO of American Heritage Credit Union. “I am always so proud of the commitment we show to help keep food pantry shelves stocked, and to provide families in our communities with the resources they need. This is just one simple way we can help these organizations and their missions. On behalf of American Heritage, we are pleased to have made the holidays brighter for local families.”
