Peach State Federal Credit Union recently held its annual toy drive in support of the Marine Toys for Tots program. Every year, the credit union sets up donation boxes at their branches, which serve as convenient drop-off sites for members and staff to donate new, unwrapped toys.
“The credit union philosophy of ‘people helping people’ extends beyond offering financial products and services. It’s also about supporting the overall well-being of our members and communities and making a positive difference in their lives,” said Demitra Houlis, Peach State’s Chief Administrative Officer and Foundation President. “It’s great to see our communities come together and help one another through this annual tradition and deliver holiday cheer to their neighbors.”
The Peach State FCU C.A.R.E.S. Foundation provides an opportunity for members and outside donors to make a difference together and help in a bigger way. Positive impacts are made through meaningful contributions, volunteered time, and donated materials, helping to improve the lives of the credit union’s Georgia and South Carolina neighbors.
As of the end of the third quarter, the Foundation reports it has donated over $608,000 to local non-profits, school systems, and the arts across the credit union’s service area.
