The current economic climate means more of our neighbors are facing food insecurity, and organizations like Food for People are indispensable. This collective effort, strengthened by our matching pledge, ensures that even more people will have access to nutritious meals when they need it most.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Collective Impact in Challenging Times<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The impressive total raised by members in such a short period underscores the community\u2019s deep commitment to supporting its most vulnerable residents. The funds will directly benefit Food for People\u2019s vital programs, which provide food security to thousands of local families, children, and seniors.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Need for Community Support<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The need for assistance in Humboldt, Del Norte, and Trinity counties remains high. Food for People relies on community support to sustain its network of food pantries and distribution programs, which are seeing increased demand. Every dollar raised provides essential resources to help families bridge the gap and maintain stability.<\/p>\n<p>Carly Robbins, Executive Director of Food for People shared, \u201cWe are exceptionally grateful to Coast Central Credit Union, its team, and their generous members for their commitment to our community at a time when more and more of our people are having a hard time making ends meet. In the last few months, we have seen a record surge in the number of people coming to us for assistance. These funds will directly support our ability to provide nutritious foods to thousands of our friends and neighbors in Humboldt County, when they need it most\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The credit union\u2019s matching commitment is part of its broader community giving efforts, which include grants, sponsorships, scholarships, and employee volunteerism\u00a0across the Humboldt, Del Norte and Trinity Counties. Coast Central committed over $700,000 in 2025.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-18560 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coastccu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Food-for-People-Check-Presentation-300x259.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"277\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coastccu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Food-for-People-Check-Presentation-300x259.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.coastccu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Food-for-People-Check-Presentation-1024x884.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.coastccu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Food-for-People-Check-Presentation-768x663.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.coastccu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Food-for-People-Check-Presentation-1536x1326.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.coastccu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Food-for-People-Check-Presentation-2048x1767.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.coastccu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Food-for-People-Check-Presentation-110x95.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.coastccu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Food-for-People-Check-Presentation-350x302.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.coastccu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Food-for-People-Check-Presentation-811x700.jpg 811w, https:\/\/www.coastccu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Food-for-People-Check-Presentation-887x765.jpg 887w, https:\/\/www.coastccu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Food-for-People-Check-Presentation-570x492.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 277px) 100vw, 277px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stakeholders gathered on <strong>Friday, December 19 <\/strong>at the Food for People headquarters in Eureka for a check presentation ceremony.<\/p>\n<p><em>(photo, left to right: David Reed, Development Director Food for People; Christian Hill, Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing and Public Affairs Officer, Coast Central Credit Union; Carly Robbins, Executive Director, Food for People).<\/em><\/p>\n<p># # #<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>About Coast Central Credit Union<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Coast Central Credit Union is the largest member-owned financial institution in the area, with over $2.2 billion in assets and operating 11 Member Services Branches throughout Humboldt, Del Norte, and Trinity counties, including McKinleyville, open six days a week, and Bayshore Mall, open seven days a week.
