For the eighth straight year, Riverview Credit Union will conduct its Annual Food Drive. This year’s drive will support three local pantries in the Mid-Ohio Valley: the Gospel Mission Food Pantry in Marietta, the Belpre Area Ministries in Belpre, and Old Man Rivers Mission in Parkersburg.

“At the most basic level, credit unions are built on the principle of ‘People helping People’,” said Doug Ankrom, Riverview’s President and CEO. “This philosophy has been employed for more than 100 years by credit unions around the world to meet the needs of underserved communities. At Riverview, we strive to build stronger communities by supporting local organizations that seek to help those in need.”

During the entire month of October, the public may drop off non-perishable food and other household necessities at any Riverview location. Contact-free curbside drop off will be available during normal office hours. Cash donations will also be accepted.  Suggested items to donate include the following:

• Rice & Dry Beans
• Stuffing & Dry Potatoes
• Canned Fruits & Vegetables
• Tuna & Canned Meat
• Dry Milk & Cereals
• Baby Food, Formula & Diapers
• Soups, Sauces & Pasta
• Peanut Butter
• Instant Jell-O & Pudding
• Fruit Juice
