Donations to Local Food Shelves

In the spirit of community support, we’re also highlighting the important work of our local food shelves, who make a difference every day for our neighbors in need. We encourage you to bring any non-perishable food items or gently used coats and accessories to donate during the event. Together, we can make a positive impact and lend a helping hand to those who need it most. Join us August 5th for our Member Appreciation Event and let’s celebrate together. Thank you for being a valued member of Ideal Credit Union!

To help our neighbors in need, a $500 donation will be made to a food shelf in each community:

  • Hugo Good Neighbors Food Shelf
  • Neighbors, Inc.
  • The Open Door
  • North St. Paul Area Food Shelf
  • Open Cupboard
  • Valley Outreach
