Prince George's Community FCU will host the "Heart of the Community Drive-Up Food Giveaway" on Saturday, November 15, 2025, from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM at its Bowie Headquarters to support local families and federal workers impacted by the ongoing government shutdown.
The event will provide fresh groceries and essential household food items, such as bread, eggs, fresh fruits, vegetables, bottled water, and more. All items will be distributed drive-up style, first come, first served, while supplies last. The giveaway is open to the community, and non-members who join the credit union during the event will have their $5 membership fee waived.
This effort expands on PGCFCU's ongoing Government Shutdown Support Program, launched in October, which provides access to deferred payments, no-penalty certificate withdrawals, and a low-rate Government Shutdown Loan option to help stabilize household finances. Shutdown Relief Programs remain available to both existing and new members until the shutdown ends.
"This shutdown has gone on much longer than anyone hoped or prepared for, and it has created an emotional and financial strain for families in our community," said Diane Coleman Brown, President & CEO of Prince George's Community Federal Credit Union. "We truly hope this comes to an end soon. In the meantime, we're going to continue showing up for our neighbors - because caring for each other is who we are."
Hall Station businesses including The Menz Room Barber Lounge, Chateau Lounge Salon, Zen Nails & Beauty, and Dunkin' Donuts/Baskin Robbins will support the event through donations. The Prince George's County Sheriff's Department has also been invited to assist with community presence and support, helping ensure a warm and welcoming experience for all participants.
