On March 29, Gary Fix, president, chief executive officer (CEO) and managing officer of First Federal of Lakewood, presented a $1,900 check to the Cleveland Foodbank, as a result of its annual checking account promotion. It was the third consecutive year the organizations partnered for the promotion, with the 2006 donations spread between the Foodbank and eight charitable organizations in branch communities.
First Federal donated $10 for each checking account opened during a two-month period in mid-2006. The 2006 contributions totaled $5,400, with $1,900 given to the Cleveland Foodbank and the rest divided between the following branch community organizations: North Ridgeville Schools, Olmsted Falls Schools, Westlake Community Service Center, Strongsville Emergency Foodbank, Brunswick Food Pantry, Avon/Avon Lake Community Resource Center, Rocky River Assistance Program and Fairview Hunger Center.
“Year upon year, our customers embrace the Cleveland Foodbank checking account promotion and the positive impact it has on our communities,” said Fix. “This year, we were able to advance our contributions by donating to both the Cleveland Foodbank and local organizations in our branch communities.”
