A big thank you is in order to all of our members who rally together for all the great causes we present. Whether it is food donations, toys for the holidays, or animal related our members always seem to step up and donate. We are proud to serve the most loving and caring bunch of members and we appreciate your generosity.
Last month during our auto loan promotion we hosted special drive-in days in our lobby. We offered Members the opportunity to enjoy a nice lunch break while donating to a great cause. Members who visited early enjoyed a hot dog, coke float and a soda for only $0.65! Two lobby days were held and our members responded so well that both events sold out of everything within the hour! 1951 pricing never tasted this good, especially when you get to keep the cool color changing cup and donate to fight hunger. We raised over $225 from Members’ donations and the Credit Union matched the donation to be given to the Houston Food Bank. The Houston Food bank provides food to many in need and they offered this amazing story to share, with you,
You’ve already made a huge difference in the lives of single mom Jennifer and her four children, Anai, 13, Juan, 11, Anthony, 6 and Brandon, 5. Jennifer knows how important providing her kids with healthy food is to their educational and physical development. Even with a stable job, she still struggles to bring in enough income to meet all their needs, let alone buy fresh, nutritious food.
Fortunately, friends like you and I help families like Jennifer’s every day. Thanks to our gift Jennifer will be able to take home healthy groceries from Northwest Assistance Ministries, a Food Bank partner agency near her home.
Jennifer is so grateful for all the nutritious groceries that she and her family receive. She explains that for the last two weeks of each month, they would have nothing, if not for this assistance. “I’d be stressed out – crying at night. Thank God there’s a place like this.”
Thanks to your generosity Jennifer can focus on spending more quality time with her kids instead of worrying about if they have enough to eat. We’re bringing hope in the form of food to so many of our neighbors in need. We fight for the hungry and the underserved. Just $1 can be enough for 3 meals for a hungry child, senior or adult. Thank you again to our members who always participate in our efforts along with those who donate and give back to local organizations everyday.
Next month, July, we’re looking to do a similar campaign with our Hot Dog Days of Summer. Keep an eye out for our Monthly eNewsletters that are sent via Constant Contact. Click here to subscribe.
