Helping people is what credit unions do all year round. This week, we have put together another #HumanitarianHighlight where we look at CU’s helping schools and sponsoring community events.
Lookout Credit Union
Lookout Credit Union donated $15,000 to the 2nd annual Kevin’s Run for Funds hosted by Idaho State University. The 5K event was able to raise $40,000 for student scholarships.
First Trust Credit Union
First Trust Credit Union partnered up with the Michigan City Salvation Army, Al’s Supermarkets, local WEFM & WIMS radio stations, and the Michigan City School Corporation for the Stuff a Bus Food Drive for The Salvation Army Food Pantry. The food drive consisted of filling Michigan City school buses with bags of food, collecting donations, and community members purchasing pre-packaged bags of groceries for families in need.
Via Credit Union
Via Credit Union donated $2,000 to Jefferson STEM Elementary for equipment, materials, and training for the MakerSpace. The collaborative workspace and materials will help students learn STEM concepts and explore the uses of high-tech to no-tech tools. Way to go Via Credit Union!

Mid Oregon Credit Union
Mid Oregon Credit Union raised $2,200 and school supplies for local students through its annual Supplies 4 Schools fundraiser. The credit union has been doing an amazing job supporting K-12 students in Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson Counties who lack the necessities to succeed at school. Thank you Mid Oregon Credit Union!
