Community Commitment
The Lewis-Clark Valley Martin Luther King Jr. and Idaho Human Rights Day of Service, coordinated by Lewis-Clark State personnel, the YWCA and community members, is a day of volunteerism and giving back to the community. Our staff helped to celebrate the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. by volunteering in two locations in the LC Valley.
"Tis the season for giving and there is no better way to end the year than by giving back to our communities. This was the second year the Neighbors Helping Neighbors campaign was part of the P1FCU Season of Giving. Community members could nominate a deserving friend or neighbor to receive a complete turkey dinner personally delivered to their home the week of Christmas. We had close to 100 families from all branch areas receive the turkey dinner with all the fixings. Pictured is our Rathdrum Branch Manager preparing to make the special deliveries.
Each year we volunteer in several branch locations to help ring the bell for The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign.
The Holiday Heroes food drive helps local families in need in the LC Valley during the holiday season. P1FCU is proud to be a sponsor and this is a favorite volunteer opportunity for many of our staff. This year is the 10th annual and the goal is to provide at least 350 bags of food and a complete turkey dinner. Our volunteers begin packing the 350 bags of food at Rosauers on a Thursday. Saturday we volunteer again, alongside other local community members, to sell the bags for donation back to the food drive.
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.
