The holidays remind us of the power of community and the importance of helping one another. Whether it's providing food for a family in need, making a child's Christmas a little brighter, or supporting local organizations doing meaningful work, every contribution matters. This season, Members First Credit Union of Florida invites you to join us in making a positive impact across our community through several giving opportunities:
1. Manna Food Drive: Nourishing Our Neighbors This Holiday Season
Help us fill Manna Food Pantries' shelves this holiday season! From now through December 31, 2026, all Members First branch locations are accepting non-perishable food donations and monetary contributions to help provide nutritious food for families in our community.
To make a monetary donation over the phone, simply speak with one of our Contact Center representatives. Every donation helps make a difference.

2. Salvation Army Angel Tree: Share the Joy of Christmas
This holiday season, you can help brighten a local child's Christmas through the Salvation Army Angel Tree program. Angel tags are available for adoption at all Members First Credit Union of Florida branch locations.
To participate, simply select an angel, purchase the requested gifts, and return them unwrapped in a bag with the top portion of the angel tag securely attached. Please drop off your gift donations at your nearest branch by Friday, December 5, 2025 (NEED NEW DATE).
Prefer to give a monetary donation? You can contribute by speaking with one of our Financial Service Representatives in person or over the phone. To donate by phone, call us at (850) 434-2211.
3. Give a Gift That Gives Back
Celebrate the season and support local families by purchasing a Christmas on the Coast ornament—available at all Members First Credit Union of Florida branch locations. This year's Pensacola ornament depicts Santa Claus and his sleigh flying over Pensacola Beach, past the iconic water tower.
All proceeds benefit Goodwill Gulf Coast, helping fund vital programs and services that empower individuals and families facing challenges related to disabilities and other barriers to economic stability and quality of life.
4. Turn Your Rewards Points into Holiday Giving
Looking for a simple way to give back this season? Use your Members First Credit Union of Florida credit card rewards points to make a charitable donation. It's easy—just log in to scorecardrewards.com, and choose to redeem your points toward a charity of your choice.
Your generosity can make a meaningful impact this holiday season—one point at a time.
Together, We Make the Season Brighter! The greatest gifts of the season aren't found under a tree. They're found in acts of kindness, generosity, and compassion. Your support, whether through a donation, angel adoption, or charitable contribution, helps bring hope and holiday cheer to those facing challenges. Thank you for helping brighten lives and strengthen our community.
