[Tallahassee, Fla.] – Envision Credit Union (Envision) is proud to announce the successful conclusion of its sixth annual “Envision No Hunger” campaign, raising more than $50,000 in support of Second Harvest of the Big Bend’s School Market Program. The School Market Program installs food pantries in schools throughout the Big Bend region to provide students and their families with access to fresh produce, protein, and pantry staples.
“When students are hungry, learning becomes a challenge,” said Darryl Worrell, President and CEO of Envision Credit Union. “This campaign speaks directly to the mission of Envision’s founders and we’re honored to partner with Second Harvest each year to help support their childhood nutrition programs. Every dollar donated is a direct investment in a student’s ability to focus, learn, and thrive in the classroom.”
The “Envision No Hunger” campaign first launched in July 2019 and has since returned each summer to support hunger relief efforts in local schools. Thanks to the generosity of community donors, this year’s funds will help the School Market Program expand to additional schools and serve even more families facing food insecurity.
“The significant growth of our School Market Program has only been possible because of partners like Envision Credit Union,” said Monique Ellsworth, CEO of Second Harvest of the Big Bend. “Their continued generosity allows us to respond directly to the needs of families in our region and bring healthy, reliable food access into schools where it’s needed most. We’re incredibly grateful for Envision’s leadership and support in this fight against hunger.”
