Beginning Monday, October 21, 2019 through Friday, November 15, 2019, all branches of Arundel Federal Savings Bank will be collecting food donations to support local food pantries this holiday season. Collection boxes will be in the lobbies of all six branches: Annapolis, Brooklyn, Gambrills, Glen Burnie, Pasadena and Severna Park.
“Helping families enjoy a holiday meal together is important to all of us at Arundel Federal. The outpouring of generosity from our employees and customers is truly heartwarming. We’ve been a drop-off location for food collection during the holidays for more than 10 years and invite everyone to stop by with a donation” said Dave Costello CEO.
