PORTLAND, OR (December 23, 2020) — Unitus Community Credit Union has given an additional $15,000 between local nonprofits Brown Hope, Clark County Food Bank, Good Neighbor Center, SnowCap Community Charities, and Sunshine Division to help uplift their continued COVID-19 crisis support efforts.
Unitus’ donation will assist with food scarcity for individuals and families impacted by COVID-19, as well as provide housing support, emergency shelter, food delivery, and emergency food boxes—including holiday food boxes through Good Neighbor Centerso families needing a little extra help can celebrate the season without having to worry about how dinner is getting on the table.
Since the COVID-19 crisis began in March, Unitus has provided nearly $69,000 in support of programs that provide emergency relief, human services, and school-based services for individuals, families, and students impacted by COVID-19.
Supported nonprofits include the Boys & Girls Club, Clackamas Service Center, Family Promise, Financial Beginnings, and Schoolhouse Supplies. Unitus also partnered with KPTV FOX 12’s Day of Giving fundraiser for Sunshine Division, which raised over $100,000 in one day for emergency food-based services.
