Each year during SECU’s Kindness month, it chooses a Grand Act of Kindness. This year, SECU chose to help address food insecurity on Maryland campuses. An estimated one in four students experiences food insecurity.

On October 18th, volunteers from SECU dropped off over 300 pounds of food and essential items gathered from SECU’s donation drive to the University of Maryland Dining Services Pantry. SECU also presented the pantry with a $3,000 donation as a part of its grand act of kindness.

On October 25th, volunteers joined Morgan State University’s 9/11 Meal Packing Day to pack meal kits for students and surrounding communities. SECU also presented them with a $5,000 donation to support the big move of their Food Resource Center to a much larger space to service more students.
