Great Lakes Credit Union (GLCU) donates needed cleaning supplies to A Safe Place
BANNOCKBURN, IL (November 10, 2016) — On Saturday, November 5th, GLCU’s Zion branch employees presented Carmen Patlan, Development Director for A Safe Place, with cleaning supplies for in-need families. Donated items included laundry detergent, dish soap, disinfectant wipes, and more.
Lissette Colin, GLCU’s Zion Branch Manager, was moved by the experience, “Carmen was very appreciative. As she gave us a tour of the building she shared a few stories; it’s heartbreaking to know there are so many families going through domestic violence and not everyone gets the help they need. I’m grateful to work for a company that truly cares about giving back to the community and allows us to be a part of it. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to do this.”
All year long employees at GLCU branches are performing various random acts of kindness as a way to make a direct impact and give back to their communities. For more information about A Safe Place and ways to make a difference, please visit http://www.asafeplaceforhelp.org/content/wish-list.
