FERNDALE, MI (February 18, 2014) – Credit Union ONE annually reaches out in the winter season to help those in the communities they serve that may need support, and in 2013 this was no exception.

• Sponsorship of Winter Dreams 2013 Program continues to assist in the revitalization of Clark Park in Detroit

“Typically we are about providing credit and a safe place to save, however credit unions at their core are about people helping people,” said Gary Moody, President and CEO of Credit Union ONE. “Throughout the year we engage in many community and charitable activities, but at this time of year we go all out to live the people helping people philosophy and provide for those less fortunate and in need. Each toy, can of food and dollar donated by employees and our members have a direct and tangible positive impact on our communities.”
