Feeding Pennsylvania awarded $50K as beneficiary of third annual PSECU Chips In golf outing
HARRISBURG, PA (June 7, 2019) — Pennsylvania’s largest credit union, PSECU, hosted 123 golfers for its third annual PSECU Chips In Golf Outing, a project of The Foundation for Enhancing Communities, on Thursday, June 6 at Dauphin Highlands Golf Course. Supported by 23 sponsors, the event raised $50,000 for this year’s beneficiary – Feeding Pennsylvania.
“In the credit union ‘people helping people’ spirit, each year we organize the PSECU Chips In Golf Outing to raise money that will support the work of a nonprofit organization whose efforts help fulfill critical statewide needs,” explained George Rudolph, PSECU’s President and the event’s 2019 Honorary Chair. “Hunger is a major issue that affects one-in-eight people in Pennsylvania. On behalf of PSECU’s more than 450,000 members, we’re pleased to have this opportunity to contribute to Feeding Pennsylvania’s mission and help bring food assistance to those who need it.”
Through a statewide network of eight affiliated food banks, Feeding Pennsylvania secures food and other resources to reduce hunger throughout Pennsylvania. It serves more than two million low-income individuals annually by distributing more than 160 million pounds of food to communities in need.
“Feeding Pennsylvania would like to thank PSECU and all of the Chips In Golf Outing sponsors for their generosity and commitment to fighting hunger in Pennsylvania,” said Jane Clements-Smith, Executive Director of Feeding Pennsylvania. “With 1.6 million Pennsylvanians facing hunger, half a million of whom are children, our member food banks are on the front lines, dedicated to making sure that all Pennsylvanians have access to nutritious food. We are grateful for PSECU’s ongoing support of our statewide efforts and look forward to putting these funds to good use.”
