(December 23, 2014) -- Through efforts in accordance with its employee-driven Greater Good program, America First Credit Union Mortgage Team employees raised $745 to make 36 double layered blankets. The blankets were donated to help aid the homeless at St. Anne’s Center on Friday, Dec. 12.
St. Anne’s Center works to aid the poor, needy and homeless by providing food, shelter and critical emergency services, with the goal of transitioning residents from the shelter to housing, encouraging independence, self-sufficiency and self-confidence.
In keeping with the credit union philosophy of people helping people, The Greater Good program offers a planned, managed framework with the goal of motivating and enabling employees to effectively volunteer under the leadership of America First. Quarterly activities are focused on specific areas of need and benefit a nonprofit organization, school, or municipality.
Celebrating 75 years, America First has become one of the largest, most stable and most progressive credit unions in the country, and has remained a member-owned, not-for-profit cooperative financial institution. Today, America First has 109 branches, and is the 12th largest credit union in assets in the United States with over $6.4 billion, and the seventh largest credit union in membership in America with more than 659,000 members.
