This holiday season, CME Federal Credit Union is proud to once again partner with the City of Columbus Division of Fire, IAFF Local 67, and FOP Capital City Lodge #9 to bring warmth and hope to Central Ohio families through the Hearts & Heroes Holiday Food Drive.

Now through November 24, we’re inviting our community to help stock local food pantries and support families who might otherwise go without. Together, we can make a difference—one can, one meal, one act of kindness at a time.


How You Can Help

It’s easy to get involved! Simply drop off non-perishable food items at any CME Federal Credit Union branch, The Central Ohio Fire Museum & Learning Center, or participating Columbus Fire Stations: 28, 23, 17, 11 and the CFD Training Academy. Every contribution—big or small—goes directly to support local food banks serving families across Franklin County and beyond.

Most-needed items include:

  • Chili with Beans

  • Tuna

  • Canned Vegetables

  • Canned Meat

  • Soup with Vegetables

  • Peanut Butter

  • Canned Fruit (in juice or light syrup)

  • *Please ensure all food items are sealed and within the expiration date.

Community Partners with Purpose

This initiative reflects the heart of CME’s mission: People Helping People. By joining forces with our first responder partners, we’re able to reach more families and amplify the impact of every donation. Our firefighters, police officers, and credit union team members share one goal—to ensure that no Central Ohio family goes hungry this holiday season.

Together, We Make a Difference

Whether you donate at a branch, host your own mini collection drive, or help spread the word, your support brings comfort and nourishment to neighbors in need.

Join us as we show that Central Ohio’s greatest strength is its community. Together, we can turn compassion into action—and make this holiday season brighter for all.
