Sedro-Woolley, WA – North Coast Credit Union  Sedro-Woolley Branch Manager Irene Millay presented a $500.00 check to Helping Hands Food Bank after their Cook Road facility was burglarized recently. 

Upon hearing the news, North Coast Credit Union posted the news and a call for donations on their credit union website and lead the charge with a $500.00 donation.  North Coast Credit Union’s President/CEO Terry Belcoe said “this is an opportunity to make a donation that is so directly in line with what we’ve defined as our corporate mission – feeding people.”
