Cobalt Credit Union is proud to announce that through its annual Holiday Helping Hand initiative, a total of $50,000 has been donated and shared among 25 nonprofit organizations across the communities it serves.

This year’s contributions will help nonprofits continue their vital work in areas such as food security, housing, education, health services, and youth development.
Greg Fripp, Founder and CEO of Whispering Roots, shared: “We have been extremely busy, with demand for our services at an all-time high given everything that’s been taking place in the community. The timing of this donation is wonderful!”
