America’s Christian Credit Union recently gave back to the community, with more than seven different organizations benefitting.

The holiday campaign began with a drop off for the Holiday Basket Program sponsored by the Glendora Community Coordinating Council. The food drive helped feed more than 250 families in the San Gabriel Valley and provided grocery gift cards for Thanksgiving.

In December, the Credit Union’s Azusa location hosted a fundraiser for the Neighborhood Homework House, a low-income family resource to help parents and students thrive academically and socially.

Each ACCU member donation was represented by a staff-designed and Homework House student-decorated angel displayed in the branch during the Christmas season. ACCU was also able to collect toys for the Homework House.

The Glendora branch hosted a similar fundraiser for Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) benefitting Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

Guests to the Credit Union generously donated to the cause and decorated the branch with CMN holiday cut-outs. President and CEO Mendell Thompson was able to present CMN representative Sarah Hackett with a check for $9,650 to support the work being done at Children’s Hospital LA.

The Visa GiveBack Platinum Program raised more than $45,000 in 2014 for organizations including the Dream Center, The Legacy Center, World Mission Broadcast, New Beginnings Adoptions and others.

“The spirit of a credit union is to give back to the communities they serve,” Thompson said. “We are so fortunate to have uplifted these important organizations and ministries. I’m grateful for and honored by our members and staff for their generous hearts.”
