NCPC Member Mission Fed Donates $20,000 to North County Food Bank
Mission Federal Credit Union (Mission Fed) is honored to serve as the largest member-owned, not-for-profit, full-service financial institution exclusively serving San Diego County. Success is measured by results. We measure our success based on a double bottom line of both financial performance and social purpose.
One example of how we put this to the test recently came in the form of a $20,000 donation to the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank, earmarked for the North County Food Bank. The total included a $10,000 end-of-year donation in 2021 from Mission Fed, plus $10,000 in a matching grant from Federal Home Loan Bank San Francisco (of which Mission Fed is a member). The total amount will provide 100,000 meals for those in North County suffering from food insecurity.
“Hunger is something no one should struggle with” said Debra Schwartz, CEO of Mission Fed. “Providing additional support to our neighbors in the North County area is important, and feeding those in need remains a key focus area in Mission Fed’s community relations efforts.”

The San Diego Food Bank and its North County Food Bank chapter comprise the largest hunger-relief organization in San Diego County. Through its North County Food Bank chapter and by partnering with nearly 500 nonprofit organizations with feeding programs, the Food Bank provides nutritious food to individuals and families in need in communities throughout our region.
