Northwest Federal Credit Union Foundation, the charitable arm of Northwest Federal Credit Union was selected as one of seven honorees for the 2018 Cornerstones of Our Community-Best of Reston Awards. The awards are presented by Cornerstones and the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce to businesses, organizations and individuals who work to enrich the community. The Foundation was selected as an honoree based on its volunteers’ community service hours including mentoring and outreach efforts.
“We are honored to be recognized for our philanthropic work in the community by Cornerstones and the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce,” said President and CEO of Northwest Federal Credit Union and Chairman of NWFCU Foundation, Jeff Bentley.
Northwest Federal recently made an annual sponsorship donation of $15,000 to Cornerstones to be used for monthly lunches for residents that will be prepared and served by credit union employees, transportation for a youth field trip, refreshing the overall appearance of the Embry Rucker Shelter, and other needs of the shelter as part of their “Transforming Lives Through Acts of We” initiative.
