Credit union ‘dress down days’ raise $1K for Philabundance
FORT WASHINGTON >> In the credit union spirit of “People Helping People,” TruMark Financial Credit Union allows its employees to wear jeans on Fridays in exchange for a donation to a charitable cause.
In February, the credit union raised $1,000 in support of Philabundance, which will support the organization’s continued efforts of feeding families and those in need in Philadelphia and its surrounding counties.
“Employees enjoy dressing more casually on Fridays, and feel a sense of pride knowing they are helping those less fortunate,” said JoAnn McCausland, senior vice president, human resources.
Philabundance provides food to approximately 90,000 people per week — of which 30 percent are children and 15 percent are senior citizens — through its network of nearly 350 member agencies including food cupboards, shelters, emergency kitchens and more.
TruMark Financial serves more than 115,000 members in Southeastern Pennsylvania. For more information visit www.trumarkonline.org/
