Ferndale, Michigan – The winter season is especially hard for families struggling to make ends meet. In an effort to assist those in the communities we serve, Credit Union ONE is once again participating in collection efforts for a few different organizations.
This year, the organizations that Credit Union ONE will be supporting through donations from its employees and members include Toys for Tots, Forgotten Harvest and Children’s Miracle Network.
Toys for Tots collection boxes will be available at all Credit Union ONE branch locations until December 15th for those wishing to contribute new, unwrapped toys.
Forgotten Harvest Holiday Food Drive will also have containers at all Metro Detroit Credit Union ONE branches to collect non-perishable food items, with much of the collection this year going to help the Salvation Army with their food needs. Food donations will be accepted until December 19th.
To support Children’s Miracle Network, holiday cut-outs are available for purchase at select Credit Union ONE locations throughout the month of December.
“Credit unions at their core are about people helping people,” said Gary Moody, President and CEO of Credit Union ONE. “Typically we are about providing credit and a safe place to save. Throughout the year we engage in many community and charitable activities, but at this time of year we go all out to live the people helping people philosophy and provide for those less fortunate and in need. Each toy, can of food and dollar donated by employees and our members have a direct and tangible positive impact on our communities.”
Anyone interested in donating to one of these causes may visit any Credit Union ONE branch to make their contribution.
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.
