Community Commitment
The 9th annual KLER Stuff the Bus Food Drive helps stock the shelves of three local food banks in the Orofino area for the holidays. Our Orofino branch donated two pallets of food during the live KLER radio remote to help local families in need. This food drive coincides with P1FCU's Annual Season of Giving and we will continue to accept donations of food, gently used or new coats, and new unwrapped toys until December 21st.
P1FCU donated a new sound system to The Center which is located in the Whitman County Library and is used as an educational, social, cultural and business hub for the Palouse region. The Center offers a variety of classes for all ages and includes a technology and training center, gallery space and public meeting space.
Several staff from our Orofino branch presented the P1FCU School Spirit Program donation of $2,000 to Orofino High School Athletic Department for the 2019-20 school year. The P1FCU School Spirit Program was started in 2015 to replace our previous "Dollars for Points" program which gave a dollar per point scored in our local high school gymnasiums.
It was a record breaking year for school supply distribution at the Orofino Teen Center hosted by the YWCA of Orofino. Our local branch staff purchased $250 worth of school supplies in additional to the items and monetary donations collected at the branch. We ae proud to participate in this local drive and help make a difference in Orofino and surrounding communities.
P1FCU members and staff donated an additional $985 to YWCA of Lewiston Clarkston for their Stuff the Bus School Supply Drive! All P1FCU branches accept school supplies and monetary donations through the months of July and August to help ensure kids have the tools they need to be successful in school. P1FCU staff is encouraged to participate in the school supply drive through our "jeans days" in which they can wear jeans if they make a monetary donation or bring school supplies.
