Impact is what inspires us

Wakota Federal Credit Union and Neighbors Inc, in South St Paul

Elan joined credit card partner Wakota Federal Credit Union to volunteer at Neighbors, Inc. as part of the Elan Charitable Giving program. 

During the event, volunteers packed 100 emergency food boxes and surprised the nonprofit with an additional $5,000 contribution, totaling $17,500, to help fund all their work to end hunger. In addition to their food shelf, Neighbors, Inc. provides clothing and essential home items through their Clothes Closet Thrift Store, runs a holiday gift program, and offers guidance through their Financial Empowerment Program. 

The organization, celebrating 50 years of service, supports low-income community members in Inver Grove Heights, South St. Paul, West St. Paul, Mendota Heights, Mendota, Sunfish Lake, and Lilydale areas of Minnesota.
