GLENDORA, CA (December 17, 2014) -- The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors honored America’s Christian Credit Union President and CEO, Mendell Thompson, for his work in adoption, leading the charge in helping fund over 1,100 adoptions since 2009. Supervisor Mike Antonovich presented Mr. Thompson and his staff with a certificate commemorating this recognition.
Mr. Thompson was also presented with a Certificate of Congressional Recognition from the office of U.S. Representative Ed Royce of the 39th District of California for his commitment to caring for orphans.
In response to receiving the certificates Thompson stated, “This is truly an honor. I would like to take this moment to call attention to and give a voice to those that have no voice and no home. During the season that we are in, I can think of no better gift than to find a home for a child that has no home.”
Chairman of the Board for America’s Christian Credit Union, Norm Sauve, and Glendora City Mayor, Judy Nelson, were able to share a few words of support and commendation during the presentation. ACCU and city staff were also present to support this event.
ACCU has been awarded and recognized by many national organizations for their Adoption Loan Program that has helped unite 1,100 forever families. They continue to defend the cause of the fatherless with the help of their partners, adoption agencies, and the community.
