Neighbors FCU donates 1,558 pounds of food to GBR Food Bank

BATON ROUGE, LA (December 3, 2019) — Neighbors FCU hosted an employee food drive to collect non-perishable food items for the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank. The staff donated 1,558 pounds of food, which will provide 1,298 meals for families in need.

NFCU’s Team Impact organized this drive and provided prize drawings for employees that participated. Team Impact is a group of volunteer employees at Neighbors that organize and host events in an effort to make a better work environment at the credit union.

“Once again, our staff continues to live the Neighbors Way through their commitment and service to our community,” Neighbors President and CEO Steve Webb said. “We are inspired by their incredible generosity.”

Neighbors has also worked with the Food Bank for the credit union’s annual day of community service, Neighbors Day. This year, 45 Neighbors employees volunteered with the Food Bank.


About Neighbors Federal Credit Union

Neighbors Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative operating as an  association dedicated to "people helping people." A handful of educators started Baton Rouge  Teachers in 1954 with a shoe box, a couple hundred dollars and the goal of making financial  services available to school system employees in our area.   Now, Neighbors Federal Credit Union is the largest community-chartered credit union in the  state of Louisiana with over 76,000 members and over $1 billion in assets. Since that time,  Neighbors has undergone a variety of changes, but the mission has stayed the same: Enhance  members' financial well-being and be a partner in the communities Neighbors serves.
