OUR Credit Union supports the communities they serve and happily donates funds each year to many worthy organizations. With a passion for seeing people live happy and healthy lives, OUR Credit Union focuses on helping equip individuals with the tools they need to succeed.
That’s why they are excited to announce they were able to provide over 200 backpacks filled with supplies to children in need this school year. OUR Credit Union partnered with great organizations for this project:
· Troy Community Coalition: dedicated to improving the quality of life for all who live or work in Troy, by promoting a lifestyle free from the abuse of alcohol and drugs.
· Turning Point Macomb: provides programs and resources that enable victims/survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault to regain control of their lives.
· Boys and Girls Club of Troy: provides a safe and positive place for youth in Oakland, Macomb and Wayne Counties.
· Gilda’s Club Metro Detroit: a place where men, women and children whose lives have been touched by cancer, as well as their families and friends, can feel a part of a welcoming community of support.
Janice Quigg, senior marketing specialist said, “Assisting our members with the tools they need to live financially success lives is the root of our purpose, but it has always been a passion of ours to give back to the community around us. It’s a part of the credit union difference: people helping people.”
The close of this new backpack focused initiative for OUR Credit Union was celebrated with a back to school party located at the credit union’s main branch. Members along with families in the community were invited to celebrate with ice cream, face-painting and more.
