Discovery FCU Partnered With Regional Credit Unions to Jointly Raise Over $220,000 Towards PPE Efforts

Discovery Federal Credit Union partnered with 17 regional credit unions and credit union partners, jointly raising more than $220,000 in just five days to collectively purchase and donate 30,000 Personal Protective Equipment (“PPE”) medical gowns to healthcare facilities throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.

Representatives from the credit unions came together on Wednesday morning, July 15, 2020 to pack the PPE materials into a fleet of vehicles form the contributing credit unions. The gowns will then be distributed to local hospitals, skilled nursing centers and other healthcare facilities.
