Credit union continues to support local food assistance efforts through food drives, volunteerism, and financial donations in 2025.
Bowie, MD – February 25, 2025 – Prince George’s Community Federal Credit Union (PGCFCU) proudly announces the renewal of its $10,000 annual pledge to support the Bowie Food Pantry in 2025. This commitment includes nonperishable food donations, volunteer efforts, and a direct financial contribution to aid the pantry in providing essential food assistance to Prince George’s County residents.
In 2024, PGCFCU strengthened its community impact through expanded philanthropic initiatives, including donation drives and partnerships with local nonprofits. The Bowie Food Pantry was a central beneficiary of these efforts, with PGCFCU members and staff contributing non-perishable goods throughout the year. For 2025, PGCFCU’s support will include:
• Donation Bins at All Branches: Each of the credit union’s four branches will have bins available for employees and members to contribute non-perishable food items.
• Monthly Deliveries: Donated goods will be delivered to the pantry each month to ensure consistent support.
• Volunteerism: PGCFCU staff will assist the pantry as volunteers on an as-needed basis.
• Financial Contribution: A monetary donation will be provided at year-end, helping the pantry address critical needs, particularly during the challenging winter months.
Michaeline Gandolph, Executive Director of the Bowie Food Pantry, expressed gratitude for the ongoing partnership: “We are thrilled to have the continued support of Prince George's Community Federal Credit Union in our mission to provide vital food assistance to residents of Prince George's County. The generosity of PGCFCU ensures we can meet the growing needs of our community and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.”
