During
the month of December all branches of Credit Union ONE including their Grand
Rapids and Traverse City branches collected toys for the Marine Corp
Toys for Tots program. This year the
collection included over 1,000 toys that will help to bring joy to many children in Michigan.
Also,
food drives for Forgotten Harvest in Metro Detroit, the Father Fred
Foundation in Traverse City, and the West Side Food Pantry in Grand
Rapids were held, which resulted in approximately 1,200 pounds of donated goods
for those in need.
"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,” said Gary Moody, President and CEO of Credit Union ONE. “Typically we are about providing credit and
a safe place to save, however credit unions at their core are about people
helping people."
Credit Union ONE, headquartered in
Ferndale Michigan for seventy-five years, offers a wide array of financial
services and access to over 30,000 ATM’s nationwide, serving 110,000 members,
with eighteen offices in three major
metropolitan areas, including Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids and Traverse City.
