IONIA A charity drive by employees at a credit union raised nearly $4,000 for IM Kids 3rd Meal.

Employees choose a charity to donate the money to each quarter.
IM Kids 3rd Meal, which provides meals to food insecure children in Ionia and Montcalm counties, was selected as the recipient of PFCU’s first-quarter donation.
