COLUMBUS, Ind. – Centra Foundation and Centra Credit Union are offering you a chance to support children in need through local organizations. Instead of buying gifts, Centra Team Members and community supporters can make a financial donation online or at a Centra location.
Local organizations, such as the Columbus Firemen’s Cheer Fund and Turning Point Holiday Store, will use the money to purchase gifts for less fortunate children. Donations will be accepted in Centra locations and online through PayPal through December 14.
Centra will match donations made on Giving Tuesday, December 3, at twenty-five cents on the dollar, up to a total Centra contribution of $5,000.
“Our Members and community supporters helped raise more than $60,000 last year to help families in need. We look forward to seeing what we can accomplish together in 2024,” said Centra Director of Community Involvement Jenni Carr.
Donations collected at Centra locations will support the local organization(s) in that community. Members who donate online can leave a note indicating which community they’d like to support. A list of the supported organizations can be found at Centra.org.
