In 2024, our Northwest employees, member and partners joined forces to collect over 35,000 food items. That was enough food to fill 10 vans! Items were delivered to Helping Hungry Kids, Seven Loaves, Bags of Love, and the South Lakes Food Pantry. Former Commanders quarterback, Sam Howell, even leant a hand in assembling 250 weekend food bags for Dogwood Elementary School. Thank you to all who donated to the success of this effort and for creating encouragement cards for the recipients!
If you would like to contribute, please bring your food items to any Northwest Federal Credit Union branch or the Foundation located at 220 Spring Street, Suite 120, Herndon, VA during the months of February and March.
We invite you to watch as we Fill the Van.
