6th Annual Feeding Hearts Food Drive

6th Annual Feeding Hearts Food Drive

Security First Bank and Security First Insurance are hosting our 6th annual Feeding Hearts Food Drive. This year, we are proud to announce that we will be extending our Feeding Hearts Food Drive to be accepting donations all month long in February.

In 2024, Security First customers, staff, and community donated more than 5,309 food and personal care items and gave $15,280 in cash donations across our service regions in Nebraska and South Dakota. We are appreciative to those who participated and hope to extend the efforts this year.

According to Feeding America, 1 in 9 people face hunger in South Dakota and 1 in 7 people face hunger in Nebraska (Feeding America). Here at Security First Bank and Security First Insurance, we believe in the power of community. By coming together, we can help support those who need basic necessities, such as food and personal care items, through our fundraising efforts. By extending the fundraising timeline to all month long, we hope to spread more awareness of food insecurity and provide additional support and assistance by collecting more donations.

We ask for your support.

During the month of February, please help us by donating what you can from the wish list below. There will be donation boxes at all 26 Security First locations. The donations that we collect will be distributed to local food pantries in the communities we serve. In addition to the food donations collected, Security First will make a $500 monetary donation in each of our communities.

Together, we can help feed more hearts and combat hunger in our community.
