Penlanco Federal Credit Union (FCU) recently hosted its sixth annual designer purse bingo, which raised more than $12,242 to benefit two volunteer fire service organizations: Lancaster Township Fire Department and Blue Rock Fire Rescue.

These two volunteer fire companies perform important work in the community by responding to emergencies, protecting lives and property, and serving out of care for others. The funds raised will help both departments maintain equipment, resources, and training required to continue their vital work. A ceremonial check presentation was held to commemorate the donation.

Penlanco FCU recognized the generosity of community members who made the event a success, from the bingo players and volunteers to the many businesses and individuals who sponsored purses or donated giveaway drawing items.

Penlanco FCU was founded in 1938 to serve the employees of PPL Electric Utilities and has since grown to serve 32 local companies and organizations, including four fire departments. The credit union remains rooted in its original mission of people helping people by providing personalized financial solutions, educational resources, and community support to help members thrive.
