Merck Sharp & Dohme Federal Credit Union of Chalfont, Pa., raised $23,600 for charity this year with the help of a generous membership base and a 4-H cow named Bessie.
At the 11th annual MSDFCU Charity Cow Plop in October, members looked on as Bessie moseyed around a horse show ring divided into three-foot by three-foot plots that the credit union had sold "deeds" to for donations of $10 each. Guided by the call of nature, Bessie did her business where she pleased and the three members holding the deeds to the plots with the biggest "plop" got a portion of the sales.
Manna on Main Street, a multi-service, interfaith outreach organization serving the North Penn community, received $11,800, as did The Shepherd's Shelf, an emergency food pantry serving the North Penn and Indian Valley areas and operating under the auspices of Christ Lutheran Church in Kulpsville, Pa.
