加州的野火烧焦了数千英亩的土地，并对全球气候造成了影响. In November and December last year, Patelco partnered with One Tree Planted to donate 5 树 for every member who switched to eStatements. Thanks to those who switched, we are donating $23,000 to plant 23,000 树. By planting 树, 我们可以用释放氧气的茂密森林取代贫瘠的土地, 净化空气, and support wildlife and biodiversity.
我们感谢我们的成员切换到遗产，使这一捐赠成为可能. 帕特尔科致力于支持我们所服务的社区，减少气候变化的影响.
We care deeply about our community, 这就是为什么在这个不确定的时期，你可以指望帕特尔科持续的慈善事业. We are giving to non-profits we know make a difference. 他们是我们社区中已经与我们建立了持续合作关系的组织, 在这场危机中，谁正在为最脆弱的人群提供宝贵和必要的服务. Rest assured, your health and well-being are our top priority. 这就是为什么我们正在努力满足我们在冠状病毒应对第一线的合作伙伴的需求.
帕特尔科一直优先考虑支持粮食安全，特别是在需要的时候. In the current crisis, 食品银行——努力让每个人的餐桌上都有食物——已经收到了三倍甚至更多的食品请求. 尤其重要的是，需要为通常在学校吃饭的儿童提供食物. 食品银行正在当地学校分发点为这些家庭提供食物. Other at-risk groups are senior citizens and the homeless. 食物银行不仅在当地食品储藏室的货架上堆满了食物，还向那些为老年人提供热餐和为无家可归者提供午餐的小型组织提供了捐赠. For every $1 donated, a food bank can secure up to $7 worth of food.
Patelco has donated a total of $130,000 to our partner food banks. We encourage you, 如果你有能力, 也要支持他们，并记住他们是为我们所有需要帮助的人服务的:
