BHFCU Gives Back - July 2023

At BHFCU, our commitment to improving lives in the communities we serve is as strong as ever. Our team found ways to do positive things in July. Learn more below.

 

Focusing on Hunger & Homelessness
In 2023, we are refocusing our staff-led charitable giving program, the Community Action Team (CAT.) Each month follows a theme with multiple organizations benefiting. In July, we focused on Hunger & Homelessness, providing aid to three organizations across South Dakota. Check out what we accomplished!

 

Who We Supported
From Sioux Falls to the Black Hills, we supported: the Cornerstone Rescue Mission, The Banquet, and WAVI. BHFCU staff raised a total of $2,700, with $900 donated to each organization.

 

Collecting Bedding
Cornerstone Rescue Mission is already preparing for the colder weather season when its services are needed most. We collected new towels, washcloths, pillowcases, and fitted sheets to help refill their stores. 

 

Making Meals for Those in Need
A BHFCU group spent an evening prepping food at The Banquet in Sioux Falls. The 19 pans of lasagna, garlic toast, salad, and cantaloupe were expected to feed 350 – 400 people!

 

Supporting the Pierre Food Pantry
Going hand-in-hand with our CAT efforts in July, we also made a $750 donation to Pierre Area Referral Services’ Ardis Townsend Food Drive Challenge.
