Redwood Credit Union Surpasses $1 Million in Giving Support for Redwood Empire Food Bank

Redwood Credit Union surpasses $1 million in giving support for Redwood Empire Food Bank. * Business Wire * Mar 5, 2026 SANTA ROSA, Calif.-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Mar 5, 2026- Redwood Credit Union (RCU) today announced a major milestone in its long-standing partnership with the Redwood Empire Food Bank (REFB), surpassing $1 million in total giving. With food insecurity topping the list of financial hardships in our communities, this comes at a critical time as the credit union doubles down on its efforts to address this persistent issue. The $1 million mark in giving to the REFB represents a major financial commitment, and RCU remains committed to ensure that no neighbor goes hungry. While the $1 million mark represents a major financial commitment, RCU's support extends beyond monetary donations. RCU employees volunteer over 400 hours per year at REFB's local food distribution sites. The credit union also led an innovative Porch-to-Pantry food drive, which inspired 1,408 donors to register and contribute more than 36,000 pounds of food during the holiday season. RCU remains committed to ensuring that no neighbor goes hungry. "Food insecurity is often the first visible sign of financial hardship," said Brett Martinez, President and CEO of Redwood Credit Union. "When families struggle to meet basic needs like putting food on the table, it signals much broader economic challenges. At RCU, we believe stability is the foundation of financial well-being. That's why our long-standing support of Redwood Empire Food Bank is so important - it helps ensure people have what they need today, so they can build a stronger, more secure future." The relationship between the two organizations has historically focused on sustainable solutions to hunger, with $1 million in RCU donations supporting REFB's distribution network, which serves thousands across Sonoma, Lake, Mendocino, and other Northern California counties. In 2025 alone, RCU's financial giving to REFB combined with 402 hours of volunteer time equated to 282,038 meals provided to the community. "We are incredibly grateful for the enduring support of Redwood Credit Union," said Allison Goodwin, President and CEO of the Redwood Empire Food Bank. "Reaching the $1 million mark is a testament to RCU's dedication to our mission, as are the volunteer hours and community advocacy that help us lift the hopes of those most in need." For nearly four decades, the Redwood Empire Food Bank has served as the region's largest hunger-relief organization, nourishing over 135,000 neighbors across five North Coast counties. With hundreds of monthly distribution programs and a strong network of community partners, REFB ensures anyone experiencing hunger can access healthy food all year long.

The credit union was recognized for its member satisfaction, financial strength and community impact, according to the Jan. 21 news release. "We're honored to be recognized by Newsweek as an industry leader strengthening the communities we serve," said Brett Martinez, President and CEO of Redwood Credit Union. "As a trusted financial partner, we're committed to helping our over 521,000 members achieve their goals through innovative products, exceptional service, and a deep commitment to doing the right thing." Last year, Newsweek also recognized RCU a one of America's Greatest Midsize Workplaces, an endorsement that came as the financial institution celebrated its 75 anniversary. Newsweek partners with market data research firm Plant-A Insights Group for research on the overall health and stability of regional financial institutions nationwide, surveying more than 71,000 U.S. residents and 845,000 reviews, according to the release. "More than financial service providers, credit unions are community partners, showing up in neighborhoods, participating in local initiatives and helping strengthen the connections that bind their members together," said Jennifer H. Cunningham, Newsweek editor-in-chief. RCU serves more than 521,000 members and as of last May, a workforce of almost 1,000 employees.
