‘Month of Giving’ campaigns were held in January, February and March
Committed to supporting local nonprofits that help its members and community, Freedom Credit Union raised $2,925 during its “Month of Giving” campaigns during the first three months of 2024.
Funds were split between four organizations:
- January: Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless
- February: Foundation for TJO Animals and Franklin County Regional Dog Shelter
- March: Griffin’s Friends
“All of these organizations have been included in our monthly giving campaigns for years, because they are causes that are important to our members, staff and community,” said Freedom Credit Union President Glenn Welch. “They each provide essential services that make our region a better place for all.”
The mission of the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless is “to create lasting solutions to housing, income, health, education, and racial inequalities in all parts of the Commonwealth.”
The Foundation for TJO Animals supports the Thomas J. O’Connor Adoption Center, which provides animal shelter and adoption services for the cities of Springfield, Chicopee and Holyoke.
The Franklin County Regional Dog Shelter is a volunteer-led group serving the communities of Franklin County. Its mission is to protect and improve the lives of stray, lost and unwanted dogs.
Griffin’s Friends is committed to helping ease the hardships of children in treatment for cancer, and the families who love and support them.
Freedom’s May “Month of Giving” campaign supports A Bed for Every Child. The community is invited to stop by any Freedom branch throughout the month to support this worthy endeavor with cash donations. Over the summer, in June, July and August, Freedom will again collect funds and non-perishable food items in support of the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts.
