Panama City, FL (February 17, 2026) |
While many observe Presidents Day as a holiday, employees of Hello Credit Union spent the day giving back. For the second year in a row, team members across the organization dedicated their time to volunteer service throughout their local communities as part of the credit union’s #HelloCares initiative.
From sorting donated clothing at local Goodwill stores to preparing disaster relief supplies with Save the Closet, Hello Credit Union staff rolled up their sleeves to make a meaningful impact. Employees also partnered with the Red Cross to install smoke detectors in homes for low-income families, brought comfort to hospice patients by visiting with certified therapy dogs, and volunteered at the Helping Hands Second Hand Store to support community programs.
“At Hello Credit Union, service doesn’t stop at financial support,” said Mike Akers, President/CEO. “#HelloCares reflects who we are as an organization. We believe in showing up for our communities—not just in words, but in action. Presidents Day is an opportunity for our team to live out that commitment together.”
The #HelloCares initiative underscores Hello Credit Union’s mission to strengthen the financial and personal well-being of the communities it serves. By dedicating the holiday to volunteerism, employees demonstrate the credit union philosophy of ‘people helping people’ in tangible and impactful ways.
With participation growing in its second year, Hello Credit Union plans to continue expanding #HelloCares as an annual tradition that unites employees around a shared purpose: making a positive difference where they live and work.
