EAST HARTFORD, Conn. In the spirit of the holidays and to reinforce its long-term commitment to assisting families in need, American Eagle Financial Credit Union awarded $3,000 in grants from its donor-advised fund at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving to three nonprofit diaper banks in Connecticut and Western Mass.
Square One Diaper Bank in Springfield, the Diaper Bank of Connecticut, and Gentle Love Diaper Pantry, a youth-led nonprofit organization at Manchester (Conn.) High School, each received $1,000 to purchase and distribute diapers to needy families in their respective communities this holiday season.
American Eagle Financial Credit Union, Connecticut’s second-largest credit union, has moved its nearly 68-year-old East Hartford branch a block down Main Street.
The credit union officially opened the 361 Main St. branch on Tuesday, with 3,500-square-feet of space housed in a building recently constructed by Goodwin University.
American Eagle has vacated its former branch location at 417 Main St., which it opened back in 1952, when it went by the name East Hartford Aircraft Federal Credit Union.
