CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Altra Federal Credit Union recently raised over $5,000 nationally with its one day Swipe Away Hunger Campaign.
“Hunger continues to be a real problem in the communities we serve,” said Cheryl Dutton, Vice President of Marketing for Altra Federal Credit Union. “Besides the financial contribution achieved by the campaign, Swipe Away Hunger also generated awareness of the increasing need our communities face in feeding the hungry.”
Altra donated $1 for every member who swiped their debit card up to $5,000 on World Hunger Day, May 28. The first $2,500 was divided equally between five community organizations.
Altra’s donation of $714 to Empty Bowls Clarksville will benefit Loaves and Fishes and Urban Ministries Grace Assistance Food Pantry, two local non-profit organizations dedicated to fighting hunger.
The check was presented to Empty Bowls Clarksville June 2.
