LANSING, MI (November 1, 2023) — credit unions across Michigan took part in CU Kind Day, an annual tradition showcasing the credit union difference through donations and volunteering. For the second year, the Michigan credit union movement took part in CU Kind Day by giving back to the community in a variety of ways.

When you’re out in your community as a team on CU Kind Day and know that so many of our state and national colleagues are doing the same thing, you can feel the credit union difference in action,” said MCUL President/CEO Patty Corkery. “Thank you to everyone who participated. The kindness and awareness we spread has a significant impact on our communities and really shows how much credit unions care.”
