Entire Month of April

APL FCU will be sponsoring a Spring Food Drive to benefit families in need in Howard County. We will be collecting canned and dry goods at all three branches during the month of April. Please double check expiration dates prior to donation.

Items especially in need:
Canned Fruit, Vegetables, Beans, Soup and Tuna
Peanut Butter & Jelly
Cereal & Powdered Milk
Dry Pasta and Spaghetti Sauce
Instant Potatoes

We will be sending all collected items to the Howard County Food Bank. Food donations during the holiday season help stock the location, but supplies often run low during the spring when donations decrease. This food drive will ensure we can support families in need during these months.
