Naveo staff showcases a few of the bags collected for the food drive.
(Somerville, MA) Naveo Credit Union collected non-perishables during the month of November to benefit the Somerville Homeless Coalition (SHC). Naveo scheduled the collection to conclude right before Thanksgiving to ensure SHC’s food pantry had plenty of items on-hand to prepare Thanksgiving bags for those who go to the shelter.

During the collection, Naveo employees and members donated various food items, many of which were geared toward preparing a full Thanksgiving meal. Naveo also donated 10 grocery totes filled with high demand items to stock the SHC pantry for the cold winter months ahead. In total, Naveo donated over 25 grocery totes of food to SHC.

“We are proud to partner with The Somerville Homeless Coalition year-after-year to provide them with enough items to benefit so many local families in need, especially during this time of year. The generosity of our members and staff is always much appreciated and showcases the credit union motto of ‘People helping people,’” commented Rui F. Domingos, Chief Executive Officer at Naveo Credit Union.
