Community First Credit Union has donated $50,000 to the Redwood Empire Food Bank as part of a 2025 Giving Tuesday matching campaign, helping expand hunger relief efforts across the North Bay region.
What the donation is for
The $50,000 gift from Community First Credit Union is being used to match community donations to the Redwood Empire Food Bank on Giving Tuesday, effectively doubling contributions up to a combined $100,000 match pool together with the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. This match encourages individuals and businesses to give on that day by turning every donated dollar into two dollars’ worth of food assistance.
Impact on the community
Redwood Empire Food Bank is the largest hunger‑relief organization serving Sonoma, Lake, Mendocino, Humboldt, and Del Norte counties, distributing food to about 142,000 people each year through hundreds of sites. Additional matched funds can translate into significantly more meals for children, families, and seniors facing food insecurity across these communities.
Role of Community First Credit Union
Community First Credit Union highlights this donation as part of its broader community partnership work, which includes ongoing support and volunteering with local nonprofits like Redwood Empire Food Bank. The credit union has also participated in the Food BANKing campaign, a friendly competition among financial institutions to raise funds, food, and volunteer hours for the food bank.
How people can participate
On the Giving Tuesday campaign page, donors are invited to give online, with clear messaging that the first $100,000 in gifts will be matched thanks to the $50,000 contributions from Community First Credit Union and the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. Social media posts and videos from both the food bank and the credit union further promote the match and encourage one‑day giving to maximize impact.
