SCFCU Helps Raise Food and Funds During 16th Annual Pack the Porches

St. Cloud Financial Credit Union strives to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our members and communities, and just one avenue of doing that is by taking part in the annual Pack the Porches food and fund drive.

SCFCU once again partnered with Catholic Charities of the Diocese of St. Cloud and others throughout the community by hosting a Pack the Porches food and fund drive, benefiting Catholic Charities Emergency Services Food Shelf.

Throughout the month of March, SCFCU’s St. Cloud, Sartell and Sauk Rapids branch locations collected nonperishable food items via donation boxes. On March 27, the SCFCU Sartell branch again served as one of the three Pack the Porches curbside drop-off locations, collecting items donated and dropped off by members of the community.

Over the last 15 years of Pack the Porches, the event has raised over $226,000 in funds and nearly 105,000 pounds of food. During the six-hour Pack the Porches event in 2026, Catholic Charities received 6,615 pounds of food and $24,665 in donated funds. Coborn’s matched all food and fund donations up to $15,000.

Catholic Charities, which is celebrating 16 years of this event, serves people across the heart of Central Minnesota with more than 30 programs that aim to meet the physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs of individuals and families of all faiths and beliefs.

The annual event increases awareness of food insecurity within the St. Cloud area and all donations remain local but count towards a statewide effort to help stock the shelves of every food shelf in the state.

Donations in support of Catholic Charities and this food and fund drive are still being accepted online at ccstcloud.org/giving and through NetGiver, which gives 100% of your donation to the charity of your choice.
