WATERLOO, IA (November 12, 2020) — Veridian Credit Union is accepting votes for nonprofit organizations across Iowa and eastern Nebraska to receive $34,000 in donations on Giving Tuesday, Dec. 1. Votes are accepted now and daily for Veridian’s annual Spark the Spirit giving campaign through Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 26 at veridiancu.org/sparkthespirit.
“The holidays are often a time of increased need, and that’s amplified for many in our communities this year,” said Renee Christoffer, Veridian’s president and CEO. “We hope Spark the Spirit will bring attention to that need and encourage us all to give locally.”
Thirty-two organizations have been nominated for Spark the Spirit by Veridian employees across Iowa and eastern Nebraska.
