Achieva Credit Union partners with The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program to help children in need

Support Tampa Bay families, November 20 – December 8, at local branches

DUNEDIN, FL (November 15, 2023) — Achieva Credit Union has partnered with The Salvation Army for its annual Angel Tree donation drive to provide a meaningful and impactful way to support local families in need. This program will take place from Nov. 20 through Dec. 8, 2023, and will provide many children with gifts this holiday season.

“Because of the unwavering support of our members and community, we’re bringing the magic of the holidays to countless children who might have otherwise felt forgotten,” said Achieva Chief Operations Officer Jennifer Galley. “Our collaboration with The Salvation Army holds a special place in our hearts, as it allows us to ease the weight of financial struggles for families in need. Every donation received will help to spread joy to local children by providing toys, bikes, clothing, and more. Gifts collected will bring the warmth of the holiday season to those who need it the most.”
The Achieva Credit Union leadership team invites everyone in the community to participate in creating unforgettable holiday memories for families in need by following these easy steps:
1.   Visit an Achieva Credit Union branch and find the designated Angel Tree display.
2.   Select an Angel Tree tag. Each tag will list the first name, age, and gender of participating children in need along with their wish list.
3.   Purchase the gift(s) listed. Note: Sometimes it’s as simple as new socks!
4.   Return the gift(s), with the Angel Tree tag, to the same Achieva branch by December 8, 2023.

Achieva Credit Union branches in Charlotte, Lee, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, and Sarasota counties will participate in this giveback program. To view the branch addresses and their hours of operation, visit www.achievacu.com/Home/Locations.
When the donation drive ends, The Salvation Army will collect all donations from the Achieva Credit Union branches and distribute the gifts before December 25, 2023. Families in need hoping to benefit from the Angel Tree program can apply online at https://saangeltree.org.
