MARQUETTE, MICHIGAN – November 10, 2026 – This holiday season, Honor Credit Union is helping fight food insecurity across Marquette County through its sixth annual Pantry PowerUP initiative. As part of the program, Honor donated a total of $6,000 to three local organizations dedicated to ensuring individuals and families have access to food and essential resources: NMU Food Pantry, The Salvation Army of Marquette, and St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry in Gwinn.
The holidays are often a time of celebration and togetherness, but they can also bring added financial strain for many families. Through Honor’s Pantry PowerUP, the goal is to help local food pantries meet increased demand during the holiday season and ensure community members have the support they need.
“These are difficult financial times for many families,” said Chris Adams, St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry, Gwinn. “The Honor Credit Union gift is a major support for our Neighbors Helping Neighbors food purchasing program. On average, this gift will purchase 3,000 pounds of nutritious food through our Feeding America Program.”
“Food pantries play an important role in caring for our communities, especially during the holidays when needs can be even greater,” said Jamie Armatti, Regional Manager at Honor Credit Union. “We’re grateful for the opportunity to support the organizations that work tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure our neighbors have access to meals, basic necessities, and a little extra peace of mind this season.”
As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, Honor Credit Union is committed to making a positive impact beyond banking. Through initiatives like Pantry PowerUP, Honor continues to invest in the well-being of Michigan communities and support organizations that are creating change where it matters most.
