Earlier this year, First Citizens’ Federal Credit Union started planning a fundraiser to collect items for the homeless off-Cape. When several local branch managers heard of the drive, they decided they wanted to do their part on Cape Cod.
“We wanted to do something on Cape to help the homeless here,” said Hyannis branch manager Linda Wilson. “And the NOAH Shelter came to mind.”
So from April 1 to the end of May, customers and staff of all Cape branches were encouraged to participate in Project Care Package, donating toiletries such as soap, toothpaste and lip balm as well as umbrellas, rain ponchos and $5 gift cards to fast food restaurants.
Wilson delivered those donations – over five boxes worth of small blue bags – to HAC in the middle of June along with Mashpee branch manager Della Sattin and Orleans branch manager Kristen Boyd-Higgins. The bags will be given to those at HAC’s NOAH Shelter, which serves the region’s homeless men and women.
