Penlanco Federal Credit Union (FCU) hosted its third annual designer purse bingo at the Farm and Home Center in Lancaster on March 12. Penlanco FCU selects a beneficiary for this event each year, and this year, proceeds were donated to the Power Packs Project. A nonprofit organization, Power Packs aims to improve the mental and physical health of children by providing nutritious meals over the weekends when school breakfast and lunch programs are unavailable to them.

According to Penlanco FCU's CEO, Stacey Remick, more than 220 people attended the bingo event, raising $13,229. This amount will provide 2,205 meals to help feed food-insecure children in the community.

Penlanco FCU's next bingo event will be on Friday, Oct. 14, with the recipient to be determined.

Penlanco FCU was formed in 1938 to serve PPL Electric Utilities employees and now also serves employees of the City of Lancaster, UnCommon Pizza, Brubacher Excavating, Trinity Drilling and Blasting, Nine Brothers, Lancaster Works and Montgomery Insurance Agency.

Penlanco FCU is seeking additional employer groups. For more information, visit http://www.penlancofcu.com.
