Advia Credit Union Celebrates 10-Year Anniversary with Community Impact: Launches Canned Food Drive to Address Food Insecurities

01/2024

While Advia has been proudly serving its communities for nearly 90 years, this January marks a decade united under the name "Advia." Advia Credit Union is proud to celebrate 10 years officially being “Advia” and invites the community to join in the celebration through a meaningful initiative.

In commemoration of this special milestone, Advia is organizing a canned food drive from January 8-February 9 to address food insecurities in its local communities. During this campaign, individuals are encouraged to contribute unexpired non-perishable items at any of Advia's twenty-eight (28) branch locations. The collected donations will be distributed to local non-profit food agencies during the week of February 12, making a direct impact on alleviating hunger and supporting those in need.

Alex Minor, Advia’s Community Development Officer, shared the following: "In different chapters of my life, I have personally grappled with the harsh reality of food insecurity. Being part of an organization that is dedicated to actively combatting food insecurity in our communities resonates deeply with me. It's a cause that fills my heart with purpose. Join us in our mission, as anyone can find themselves facing food insecurity at any given moment. Together, let's make a difference and ensure that no one goes hungry."

Minor added that Advia's social mission pillars align with the goal of creating a lasting impact, and the canned food drive is a tangible way for the organization and its community members to contribute to a more sustainable and supportive future.
