People’s Credit Union Members & Employees Donate 100s of Gifts to the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program

People’s Credit Union once again partnered with the Salvation Army on their Angel Tree program, providing new gifts for children in need during the holiday season. Each People’s branch collected donations of unwrapped new gifts and clothing during December.

“The holiday period should be a joyous time for everyone, especially children. During these times, some families need assistance in fulfilling their little ones’ wishes, so we are more than happy to help wherever possible,” offered Jane McDurman, Vice President of Retail Administration at People’s Credit Union. “By teaming up with the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program, everyone at People’s Credit Union and our members can make the dreams of these families come true,” McDurman further commented.

Together with our members, we made a huge difference over the holiday season. The Salvation Army noted that People’s:

• Helped to serve 90 people a traditional Thanksgiving dinner the Sunday before Thanksgiving. People’s employees gave up their time with family, at home, watching football, or just getting a respite from the "labors of the season" so that others could partake in a meal together.

• People’s employees and members generously provided gifts and clothing to over 370 children who would not have found anything under a tree on Christmas morning if not for their generosity. “I respect that leading and managing a successful credit union and serving the members is demanding, so, in addition to all of this, your team engaged your members, showed pride in the generosity of each branch, and offered themselves to help with our angel tree program,” stated Mary from the Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army also received $500 from People's Credit Union to "backfill" any child whose family had registered for the Angel Tree program but for whom a gift did not come. Thank you for your donations. We could only make this impact with you, our members.
