During the week of Thanksgiving, the employees of First Community Credit Union donated a minimum of $25 each to help the Ronald McDonald House Charities of St. Louis. The money raised went toward buying gifts for their “McShoppe.”
The McShoppe provides a place for RMHC guest families to shop free of charge for loved ones during December, easing the pain of being away from home for the holidays. First Community raised over $5400 and provided over 250 gifts from the Amazon wish list for Ronald McDonald House charities.
“Ronald McDonald House Charities is one of our favorite organizations to donate to at First Community. The idea that the families of RMHC can go shopping without a cost is something we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to help with. I am always proud of the way the staff at First Community steps up to help local organizations.,” said First Community President and CEO Glenn Barks.
For years, First Community has chosen a charity to donate items to during the week of Thanksgiving. This was the first time for RMHC’s McShoppe, and the employees’ stepped up to the task of helping make some Christmas’s brighter.
