American Heritage Credit Union made a variety of donations during the 2020 holiday season to organizations and not-for-profits. As part of its latest Spirit of Giving Food Drive initiative, American Heritage provided non-perishable food boxes, turkey and ham dinners, and $25,000 in contributions in the form of $100 gift cards to more than 250 families in need in the Philadelphia area. Prior to Thanksgiving, the company donated 13,000 pounds of food and $20,000 to 14 local food banks. In addition, the Credit Union’s Adopt-A-Family program raised more than $20,000 to purchase wish lists items for 20 families, in partnership with the Norristown Salvation Army, Northeast Family YMCA, CADCOM, Thea Bowman Women’s Shelter in Philadelphia, Carson Valley Children’s Aid and the Jewish Community Center of Greater Philadelphia.
Each family’s wish lists included toys, books, and necessities like coats and boots. Additionally, American Heritage’s Board of Directors donated 30 gift cards of $500 from Shop-Rite to be distributed to families throughout the community. The Adopt-A-Family program also adopted 24 children from Ridge Crest Pediatric Services in Sellersville to provide the children with essentials such as health care supplies, toiletries, and cleaning supplies for the non-profit.
