Members Advantage Credit Union made a donation to the Portage Township Food Pantry at a time demand is skyrocketing because of the coronavirus pandemic and cars have lined up down the street. The non-profit credit union, which has branches in Michigan City and Portage, gave $500 to the food bank in Portage to help it provide services to the need, including emergency assistance to about 600 families in crisis. âItâs a privilege to be able to help facilitate donations that make an impact on peopleâs lives in our communities," Members Advantage Credit Union President Frank Beachnau said. "Food is a basic need that a lot of us take for granted, so we are grateful for the opportunity to remind ourselves and others of how fortunate we are to know where our next meal is coming from.â
