Susquehanna Bank To Donate 147,000 Meals to Food Banks

We usually think of the Bank as the Bad Guy. But Susquehanna Bank has pledged to donate 147,000 meals to food banks in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and West Virginia as part of its #30DaysofThanks campaign.

The Lancaster County-based bank is donating 30 meals for each personal checking account opened in November, along with five meals for each like, share, retweet and comment on its 'Today I'm Thankful for' posts on Facebook and Twitter last month. During Thanksgiving week, Susquehanna doubled its donations to 60 and 10 meals, respectively.

Susquehanna has been involved in online campaigns to feed the hungry since 2010. It has donated more than 1.3 million meals to food banks through Tweet2Feed, MillionMeal Mission and #30DaysofThanks.

Food banks partnering with Susquehanna this year include: The Central PA Food Bank, Greater Berks (County) Food Bank, Philabundance, Second Harvest Food Bank of Lehigh Valley and NEPA, The Weinberg Food Bank, Maryland Food Bank, Mountaineer Food Bank (West Virginia), Community Food Bank of New Jersey - Southern Branch, and Food Bank of South Jersey.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
