Press release from the JAX Chamber: April 26, 2022 April 25, 2022 — JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jax Federal Credit Union, a Jacksonville-based credit union that serves more than 41,000 members across Duval, Clay, Nassau, Baker and St. Johns Counties, is hosting a spring food drive in partnership with Feeding Northeast Florida (FNEFL). Through April 30, the public is welcome to donate canned and dry goods at the credit union's seven Northeast Florida branches during business hours. This is the third year Jax Federal Credit Union has partnered with FNEFL, the largest, most efficient food bank serving Baker, Bradford, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, Putnam and St. Johns Counties. The pandemic has caused a rise in food scarcity throughout the region affecting both adults and children alike. According to a recent study, one in seven adults, and one in five children struggle with food insecurity. This partnership is just one of many community nonprofits Jax Federal Credit Union supports throughout the year. "At Jax Federal Credit Union, we are dedicated to supporting the Northeast Florida nonprofit community. Our partnership with Feeding Northeast Florida allows members across our region to support their mission and live the credit union philosophy of 'people helping people,'" said Brittany Ezelle, Marketing Strategist and Community Engagement Leader.
