Huntington Memorial Hospital workers in Los Angeles received a surprise from Wescom Credit Union. The hospital staff, who is working directly with COVID-19 patients, received $10,000 worth of GrubHub gift cards.

"Supporting our local communities and residents has always been a strong part of our ethos," Melissa Pederson, senior vice president of administration for Wescom Credit Union, said in the release. "We know Huntington Memorial staff are working tirelessly to care for sick patients and to keep our community safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, and we wanted to show our appreciation. The GrubHub gift cards give recipients the flexibility to use them to order a meal for themselves while on duty or for their family at home. They also help support local restaurants and the economy during this challenging time."

Wescom Credit Union also presented $45,000 in grants to four nonprofit Southern California food banks to help them continue to feed those in need and plans to donate an additional $10,000 in GrubHub gift cards next month to two additional Southern California hospitals.

The 85-year-old company is headquartered in Pasadena, California, and has a network of 24 branches and ATMs serving approximately 200,000 members.
