1st United Doubles Down to Help Fight Hunger Through Donation Matching
To help local families during these unprecedented times, 1st United Credit Union is matching virtual food drive donations - up to $10,000. Due to COVID-19, food has become more of a necessity now than ever before, according to Alameda County Community Food Bank (ACCFB). And every dollar donated to the ACCFB equates to $7 worth of healthy food for a local family. That's why 1st United has moved their food drive online this year and will be matching monetary donations made by members, staff, and community. Every dollar donated will be doubled by 1st United, up to a maximum of $10,000. Donations can be made until November 15, 2020 by visiting
