HVBF member Point Breeze Credit Union will hold the Second Annual “The Harvest” Golf Tournament on September 16 to benefit the Maryland Food Bank. Last year’s inaugural event raised $20,000 to feed some of the 665,000 people in Maryland who do not have enough to eat. 

HUNT VALLEY, MD (5/1/19) --- Enjoy a day on the links while helping the Maryland Food Bank’s efforts to feed hungry Maryland families by participating in Point Breeze Credit Union’s Second Annual “The Harvest” Golf Tournament.

“While Point Breeze is proud to be a reliable financial institution, we are deeply committed to being good neighbors and giving back to the communities we serve,” says Point Breeze President and CEO Bernard McLaughlin. “Our inaugural golf tournament was a huge success, bringing over 100 golfers together and raising $20,000 for the Maryland Food Bank. We look forward to another successful event to help strengthen the Maryland Food Bank’s efforts to feed some of the more than 665,000 people in Maryland who do not have enough to eat.”

“This year marks our 40^th year of feeding hungry Marylanders, and we simply could not do the work we do without partners like Point Breeze Credit Union who are willing to step up and support our mission,” says Carmen Del Guercio, President & CEO of the Maryland Food Bank. “Last year’s ‘The Harvest’ Golf Tournament was a wonderful event, and we’re excited to build on that success to generate even more funds that will help provide healthy food to Marylanders in need.”
