Andrews FCU Donates $150,000 to Community Partners

Andrews Federal Credit Union continued its commitment to the community by supporting local schools, military support groups, and nonprofit organizations over the holiday season.

The credit union gave $150,000 in donations to initiatives that will provide for families and fuel community programs both during the holiday season and throughout the upcoming year. The donations spanned the credit union's full service area, including donations in Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia, New Jersey, and the overseas military communities Andrews Federal serves.

Funds were distributed through partnerships with trusted high-impact organizations including the USO, local and overseas military bases, public and private schools, churches and faith-based organizations, community service organizations, and non-profit partners. "Partnership is powerful. Joining forces with the USO and local organizations, we created a network of support that reached thousands and made a true impact for the areas we serve," said Damita Robinson, Chief Operating Officer for Andrews Federal Credit Union.

In addition to the financial contributions, credit union employees also contributed their time and volunteer service efforts to provide turkey dinners and food boxes to families in need during the holiday season.

"Our goal through this giving effort was to make the greatest impact for the most people during this holiday season," Robinson said. "By working with trusted community partners throughout our service area, we were able to maximize the impact of our gifts and ensure many families both stateside and abroad were able to celebrate the holidays with hope and dignity."
