Food drive gets boost from Lockheed credit union
Employees of Lockheed Federal Credit Union last week donated more than 50 hours to the Burbank Temporary Aid Center to help stock and organize some 32,000 pounds of food.
Employees donated more than 400 pounds of food as part of Lockheed credit union’s two-year-old Volunteer Time Off Program, which allows employees to receive company-paid time off to volunteer in the community.
Each credit union staffer can volunteer a maximum eight hours per year.
BTAC received more than $16,000 in donations from the credit union and its employees in 2008.
