LAWRENCEVILLE, GA – The Northeast Georgia Chapter of Credit Unions has donated a portion of the proceeds raised from their 18th Annual Charity Golf Tournament to the Lawrenceville Cooperative Ministries.
The food bank and financial support group, which received $750, is just one of the many organizations that will benefit from the Chapter’s support in 2013. The Chapter designates charities in the local counties served by its 19 participating credit unions to receive funds from their annual golf tournament. Charitable contributions by the Chapter total $15,000 for 2013.
“It’s wonderful that our involvement in the chapter affords us yet another opportunity to support such worthy causes. Lawrenceville Cooperative Ministries is just one of the many organizations dedicated to helping people in their time of need. It goes back to the very principals that credit unions were founded on – ‘people helping people’,” said Laura Ryll, Chapter Board Member and Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer at Peach State Federal Credit Union.
“The Lawrenceville Cooperative Ministry is currently serving over 700 different households in Lawrenceville and Dacula each month. We help with food, utility bills, prescription medication and emergency housing,” said Linda Freund, Director of Lawrenceville Cooperative Ministries. “Through the support of a caring community, we help to meet these needs. Thank you, Peach State Federal Credit Union and the Northeast Georgia Chapter of Credit Unions, for being a vital part of our community and reaching out to help those in need in a very tangible way!”
