Humanitarian Highlight 10/29/2020
Happy Humanitarian Highlight Day! It’s the last one for the month of October before we enter into November! We hope you all had a wonderful month and hope you have enjoyed reading all the acts of kindness this past month. We look forward to finding more stories and seeing credit unions from all around the country make their communities a little brighter and a world of good.
Workers Credit Union
Workers Credit Union members provided $41,000 to local non-profits through their annual GiveBack program earlier in September. Executives presented checks to each of the organizations, which included Habitat for Humanity, who received $17,300, and Worcester County Food Bank, who received $23,600. We’re so inspired by their members’ generosity Awesome job!
Rogue Credit Union
In just two weeks, Rogue Credit Union was able to raise more than $1 million for the families and communities affected by the wildfires in Oregon. These devastating fires destroyed thousands of structures and towns, displacing thousands of people in Oregon.
Indiana Members Credit Union
Indiana Members Credit Union presented a check for $1,974 to Carmel High School Athletics as part of their ongoing school spirit debit card program. The program allows Carmel fans the opportunity to show their school spirit and support the athletic program by signing up for a Carmel Greyhounds-themed debit card. Every time the card is used as a signature-based transaction, Carmel Athletics benefits.
Black Hills Federal Credit Union
A group of BHFCU employees were able to lend a helping hand in their final Adopt-A-Mile cleanup of the year. What a great way to keep their community spotless and beautiful! Great job, BHFCU!
Alpena Alcona Area Credit Union
AAACU Board of Directors Chairperson, Charlie Negro, presented an $800 check on behalf of AAACU to the pastor of Oscoda Assembly of God church. These funds will be used to purchase a truckload of food for their monthly grocery giveaway, which helps to feed about 250 families throughout the Oscoda community.
Suffolk Federal Credit Union
Thanks to Suffolk FCU, the Gateway Performing Arts Center (“The Gateway Playhouse”) of Suffolk County in Bellport, N.Y., received a $10,000 grant that administered small business relief grants from the Home Loan Bank of New York, created to support the financial security and health of workers who are employed by organizations that have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 crisis.
Capital Area Federal Credit Union
