PENSACOLA, FLA (September 24, 2024)PenAir Credit Union (PenAir), recognized by Newsweek as one of America’s Best Regional Banks and Credit Unions in 2024, today announced that its second annual Snack Stock, a community-wide snack collection drive to benefit Ascension Sacred Heart Cancer Centers, will begin accepting snack donations from the community, including members and non-members, on October 2. The drive will supply the cancer center’s snack cabinet with individually wrapped items for cancer patients and their families to enjoy while in the waiting room, treatment areas, or at routine appointments.

“PenAir is committed to providing comfort and support to local individuals and their families in the fight against breast cancer,” said Connie Hansler, Sponsorships & Events Specialist at PenAir Credit Union. “Any contribution, large or small, would mean so much to someone fighting cancer.”
