Madison, Wis. (Mar. 9, 2021) – Summit Credit Union, a member owned financial cooperative announced the winner of the 2021 Give Back Campaign on the morning of March 9. The Give Back Campaign launched in 2013, between Dane Buy Local & Summit Credit Union, who wanted to recognize local nonprofits doing great things in their communities. 

This year’s winner, FEED Kitchens, a project of the Northside Planning Council of Madison, Wisconsin, which provides commercial kitchen space for rent so that food businesses, nonprofit organizations, vocational training programs and individuals seeking to prepare food to sell to the public have a legal place to prepare food, was awarded $1,000. At the onset of the pandemic, when the community was most vulnerable, FEED Kitchen provided over 400 meals daily throughout Madison ensuring families had access to food.

Colin Murray, executive director of Dane Buy Local shared, “We are pleased that the Northside Planning Council and FEED Kitchens was recognized by Summit Credit Union and the annual Give Back campaign this year. Summit Credit Union has been a huge supporter of nonprofits as well as the concept of buying local, for many years. And of course, Dane Buy Local has loved our collaboration with FEED Kitchens on various activities through the years. These two important organizations make us a stronger Dane County community.”

Summit Credit Union’s focus is on building strong & thriving communities, and we are pleased to award FEED Kitchen’s truly impactful and important work.
