Freedom Credit Union raises $7.5K to support Pioneer Valley USO
SPRINGFIELD — Freedom Credit Union partnered with its members and the community during the month of December to raise money for the Pioneer Valley United Service Organization (USO). With the bank contributing a match of $2,500, its efforts raised a total of $7,500.
“We heard that our local USO at Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee had experienced a drop in donations for their food pantry over the past year, and we wanted to bridge the gap over the holidays to ensure that those who sacrifice so much for our freedom had what they needed,” President Glenn Welch said in a Freedom Credit Union press release. “As always, our members and local community rose to the challenge when we offered to match their donations. We are grateful and proud to be able to contribute to this important effort.”

Banks, Credit Unions Ramp Up Philanthropy During Difficult Year

Banks, Credit Unions Ramp Up Philanthropy During Difficult Year
Checking on the Community
Paul Scully says much of Country Bank’s philanthropy in 2020 was directed at “COVID-related initiatives.”
Paul Scully says local philanthropy is baked into the DNA of this region’s financial institutions.
“Banks have always been great about supporting communities. And we are fairly philanthropic,” Country Bank’s president and CEO added, noting that the bank gave $1.3 million to local nonprofits last year, touching about 400 different organizations in some way.
Those numbers aren’t atypical. What made 2020 slightly different is where that money went.
“Of that, about a half-million went to what I would call COVID-related initiatives,” Scully said, citing causes ranging from equipping frontline workers at hospitals to meeting soaring demand at local food banks due to the pandemic’s economic impact on families.
