November 2022 – #GFCUCares Events

Coatz 4 Kidz Coat Donation

Through the month of November, employees and members donated almost 400 coats to #Coats4Kidz, presented by S.M.A.R.T., a youth arts 501(c) nonprofit organization. Our #GENerous teams went shopping for winter coats and jackets for this cause that will help kids in local schools. Each coat will help a child attend school, improve academic performance, and keep them connected to school activities and services during cold weather. Thank you for sharing the warmth! #GENerosity #GFCUCares
