Penny Nicholas Food Drive begins

NEW Credit Union has launched the fourth annual Penny Nicholas Food Drive during the month of March. Leland “Penny” Nicholas was a firm believer in the credit union philosophy of people helping people and this food drive was instituted as a tribute to him. Nicholas served on the credit union’s board of directors for 34 years. He volunteered thousands of hours for the credit union and helped with numerous events in the community. Nonperishable food items can be dropped off at any one of NEW Credit Union’s four locations: 301 Jackson St., Oconto Falls; 405 Pecor St., Oconto; 717 E. Main St., Suring; and 870 Frontage Road, Peshtigo. For more information about NEW Credit Union, just visit newcu.org or call 800-924-1250. The food gathered will be distributed among several local food pantries. Deadline to drop off items is March 29.
