WOODBRIDGE, VA (May 29, 2015) — Belvoir Federal Credit Union donated $2,200 to the World Council of Credit Union Relief Fund for the victims of the Nepal Earthquake.

Belvoir Federal employees donated $1,100 and the credit union matched their donations. The credit union also offered an outlet for members to donate funds by placing a linkable banner on their website which went directly to the World Council of Credit Union’s relief fund site.
