UKIAH, CA (October 24, 2014) — Redwood Credit Union (RCU) recently donated a projector and automatic screen to the Arbor Youth Resource Center in Ukiah to help them with educational and recreational programs for transition-age youth.
“RCU’s generous gift greatly improves the Arbor’s ability to offer trainings, presentations and the always-popular Inspirational Movie Night,” said Stephanie Paige, Program Manager for the Center. “Developing and maintaining community relationships is what makes the programs at The Arbor possible; donations like this projector help keep this center not only a safe place for teens, but also a fun one.”
“RCU is committed to supporting our local community and we’re happy to support The Arbor with their efforts to provide the resources and services needed by young people in transition,” said Earl Chavez, RCU’s Assistant Branch Manager for Ukiah.
