These funds will help support Holcomb Farm’s community efforts, such as Fresh Access. This program provides healthy food, free-of-charge to more than 500 households per week during the Farm’s growing season.
Hartford Federal Credit Union Gives 2023 is HFCU’s charitable giving initiative through which $250,000 will be donated to organizations that provide basic services to people of modest means. As HFCU’s President & CEO Ed Danek explained, “This giving reflects our core values and is part of who we are as well as being a good corporate citizen. It is in our DNA, and we are pleased to be in a position to help people during these difficult times.”
Seven months into 2023, HFCU has given over $115,000 through donations to the Joan C. Dauber Food Bank at St. Francis Hospital, The Village for Families & Children, South Windsor Food and Fuel Bank, My Sisters’ Place, Windsor Food and Fuel Bank, Simsbury Food Pantry, Safe Net Ministries, Newington Food Bank, Malta House of Care, Operation Fuel, Curtis D. Robinson Center for Health Equity, Holcomb Farm, and Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
