Ferndale, Michigan – In the true spirit of the credit union philosophy “people helping people” Credit Union ONE was honored last week with the Ferndale Chamber of Commerce 2012 Philanthropy Award.
The Award was given based on the credit union’s generous donation of office space for SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives). SCORE is a nonprofit organization with volunteers who help new generations of aspiring business owners make their dreams come true when starting or growing a business.
Because of Credit Union ONE, they were able to open a Small Business Counseling Center in Ferndale. The counseling center is located inside the office of the Ferndale Area Chamber of Commerce located at 407 E Nine Mile, Ferndale. SCORE counselors meet with an average of about seven to 10 small business owners each week. It is a benefit available for the Ferndale community and surrounding cities.
“This is a significant achievement and acknowledges our commitment to the community, said Gary Moody, president/ceo of Credit Union ONE. To be given an award for action that is for your community is special and is something we are all proud of.”
Credit Union ONE, headquartered in Ferndale Michigan for over seventy years, offers a wide array of financial services and access to over 28,000 ATM’s nationwide, serving 106,000 members, with eighteen offices in three major metropolitan areas, including Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids and Traverse City.
