COLUMBUS, Ind. – Centra Credit Union (CCU) recently announced that its members, CCU employees, and the local community came together this past holiday season to raise more than $40,000 to support local children in need.
The money was provided through the Holiday Giving Program, which collects monetary donations for local non-profits who purchase gifts for children in need during the holidays.
“The generosity our local communities have shown is a perfect example of ‘People Helping People,” Centra Foundation Chairperson Jenni Carr said. “We look forward to helping local families every year, and we are incredibly grateful to all those who donated.”
This year, the program raised a total of $43,302, which will be given to 13 different organizations.
