The recipients include the Hugo Good Neighbors Food Shelf , The Open Door , Neighbors, Inc ., North St. Paul Area Food Shelf , Valley Outreach and the Christian Cupboard .
Gently used coats and winter accessories will also be collected for the annual Salvation Army Coats for Kids drive. Ideal CU has partnered with the Salvation Army since 2010 to serve as a drop-off site for the local community and to provide monetary support for the Coats for Kids program. Collection barrels are available year-round in all six Ideal CU branch locations.
Ideal’s Annual Community Appreciation event, which started in 2014, has been a big hit with members and the community at large. “The Community Celebration is one of the highlights of the year for our credit union,” said Ideal CU President/CEO Brian Sherrick. “The event gives us the opportunity to thank to our members for doing business with our credit union, showcase our commitment to giving back to the communities we serve, and have fun at the same time.”
