TruMark Gives Out Items to Those in Need
KleinLife Spreads Word about Meals Program
On Dec. 20, TruMark Financial Credit Union delivered children’s hats, gloves
and sweatshirts to local nonprofits that help people in need.

All five organizations — APM Neighborhood Community, Emilie United
Methodist Church Safe Sanctuaries, the Maternal and Child Health Consortium,
Mitzvah Circle and Our Closet — provide services to families who may need
food, health care, clothing and shelter.

KleinLife’s Sharon Kaplan, Shelley Geltzer and Benjamin Toledano told people
about the Subaru Share the Love Event at the nonprofit’s weekly Grab and Go
Meal Distribution. The Philadelphia organization is a partner of Subaru in
its Meals on Wheels effort, which delivers meals to homebound seniors. Now
through Jan. 3, when you buy or lease a Subaru, $250 will go toward Meals
on Wheels.
