Lower Bucks Hospital and American Heritage Credit Union Join Forces to Brighten the Holidays for Local Families
Bristol, PA – [December 18, 2024] – Lower Bucks Hospital is thrilled to announce its partnership with American Heritage Credit Union in a heartfelt initiative designed to uplift local families in need this holiday season. Recently, American Heritage Credit Union generously donated 20 boxes brimming with non-perishable food items, along with a $100 ShopRite gift card. These donations were delivered by the hospital to both the Bristol Township School District and the Bristol Borough Police Department.
“We believe that no one should go hungry, especially during the holiday season,” said Donna Handel, Vice President of Business Development of American Heritage Credit Union. “By partnering with Lower Bucks Hospital, we are able to extend our reach and make a meaningful impact in the lives of those in our community.”
This meaningful collaboration reflects the shared commitment of American Heritage Credit Union and Lower Bucks Hospital to serve the community and ensure that every family has access to vital resources during the holiday season. The non-perishable food items will provide essential nourishment to families facing food insecurity, while the ShopRite gift card allows for the purchase of fresh produce and other necessities, fostering a sense of dignity and choice.
“We are deeply grateful for the generous support from American Heritage Credit Union,” said Michael Motte, CEO at Lower Bucks Hospital. “This initiative not only provides critical assistance but also embodies the spirit of compassion and community that we cherish here in Bucks County.”
As we approach the holiday season, this collaboration serves as a reminder of the power of teamwork and the positive impact we can make together.
