Deer Park, TX (April 15, 2025) |
Shell Federal Credit Union recently kicked off its annual Everyone’s Gotta Eat Food Drive, a heartfelt initiative organized by the Furthering Community Unity (FCU) Team powered by Shell FCU, to support individuals—and their furry companions—by collecting essential items for local food pantries and animal shelters.
The red FCU Team collection barrels are in the lobbies of all Shell FCU branches, where donations of non-perishable food items, pet food, and everyday necessities are being accepted. The drive is taking place now through May 3rd, giving members, employees, and the community several weeks to contribute.
This year, the FCU Team expanded the effort by partnering with six local schools: La Porte Elementary, Mae Smythe Elementary, Bailey Elementary, Bobby Shaw Middle School, North Shore Elementary, and Landolt Elementary. These campuses are gathering donations to help stock shelves ahead of the high-demand summer months.
To make giving even easier, donations can also be made through the Everyone’s Gotta Eat Amazon Wish List at https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/XJ6CGQBULQZQ. The list features the most requested items from local pantries and shelters and ships directly to Shell FCU for distribution.
The FCU Team is coordinating the collection, organization, and delivery of all donations to trusted local partners. There’s still time to join us in making a difference—because everyone’s gotta eat.
