United Federal Credit Union (UFCU) was pleased to donate $1,385 to local families and organizations across North Carolina during the 2016 Pay It Forward initiative. As part of the Pay It Forward program, UFCU provides $15 to every employee to give to a needy individual, family, or organization of their choice. Many times departments and branches combine funds to create a more substantial donation.
Employees in
Asheville, Fletcher, Hendersonville, and Statesville, North Carolina raised
money to benefit local families—some dealing with medical or financial
difficulties—as well as a variety of institutions that help local children like
Hall Fletcher Elementary School in Asheville and the Blessings in a Box program
held in Hendersonville.
“I want to
thank the team in North Carolina for their outstanding generosity,” said UFCU
President/CEO Terry O’Rourke. “We cannot make this type of impact on our
communities without their dedication and passion for service and helping
others, not just during the Pay It Forward initiative, but every day of the year.”
In 2016
through the Pay It Forward initiative, UFCU collectively donated more than
$11,500 to 34 different individuals and community organizations across the six
states where branches are located.
