Alliant Credit Union donates to pantry

Alliant Credit Union, headquartered near O'Hare Airport, recently conducted an employee Holiday Food Drive to benefit area residents who need assistance. Coordinated by Alliant's Civic Affairs Committee, the charity drive collected hundreds of nonperishable food and household items that were donated to the Maine Township Community Food Pantry. These items are being distributed to people living in Des Plaines, Park Ridge, Niles, Glenview, Morton Grove and Rosemont. In addition, some Alliant employees donated money for the food pantry and Alliant Credit Union Foundation is providing a grant to help the food pantry purchase goods for those in need.

After receiving Alliant donations, food pantry coordinator Carol Langan said, “These contributions are extremely helpful to our holiday assistance efforts and greatly appreciated by local people in need. We're thankful and delighted about the quantity and quality of the donations made by Alliant employees.”

Alliant president and CEO David Mooney said, “We're dedicated to serving local communities and worthwhile charities, and very proud of our employees for contributing so generously to this cause. With more and more people affected by these difficult economic times, it's extremely important to provide assistance, especially during the holiday season.”
