AEA Federal Credit Union recently presented a check for $3,210 to Yuma Community Food Bank. Donated funds were raised through the Employee Jean’s Giver Program during first quarter, 2022.
AEA employees participate in the Jeans Giver Program all year long and donate either $5 or $10 from their paychecks to wear jeans. Each quarter, the funds raised are given to a charity selected by employees. Since its start in 2016, the AEA Employee Jeans Giver Program has raised over $69,000 for local non-profits.
“The Yuma Community Food Bank is a wonderful organization that truly cares for our local families. For each dollar donated to them, 11 meals go out to local families,” said Adele Sandberg, AEA President and CEO. “Knowing that funds raised by the AEA Team will put over 35,000 meals out into our community is powerful.”
For over three decades, the Yuma Community Food Bank has created and enhanced emergency and supplemental food programs that have an educational and a nutritional component for families throughout Yuma County. The Yuma Community Food Bank acts as a conduit in providing food to area nonprofits such as Crossroads Mission, Catholic Community Services, Amberly's Place, and many other nonprofit agencies.
