Community Resource Federal Credit Union sponsors Cookies in the Park

LATHAM, NY (July 17, 2015) — On Tuesday, July 14, Community Resource Federal Credit Union partnered with Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless (IPH) to provide a cookie decorating day as part of their Summer Youth Program. Employees of the Credit Union spent an afternoon at a pocket park near the shelter decorating cookies with local children. This is the fifth year that the Credit Union has sponsored an activity for the Summer Youth Program.

Over 40 children were treated to sugar cookies which they decorated with frosting and sprinkles. IPH provides a free nutritious lunch and daily craft project weekdays from the end of June through mid-August. Last year more than 986 children participated and over 1,700 lunches were served.

The mission of Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless is to address the needs of the homeless and low-income community by providing a continuum of services to encourage self-sufficiency, empowerment, and stability. The shelter is located at 176 Sheridan Ave., Albany and can be reached by calling 518-434-8021.
