Credit Union Collects, Delivers Hundreds of Christmas Gifts

The Association Credit Union Foundation started the program six years ago to help local children and senior citizens.

Associated Credit Union Foundation collected more than 700 gifts during its sixth Annual Making Caring Count for Christmas program for local children and senior citizens.

Since launching the program in 2008, ACU has sponsored more than 3,500 gift wishes from kids and seniors in the community including popular toys, board games, warm clothing and more.

Gifts were taken to the Norcross Cooperative Ministry, Quinn House, Salvation Army, United Military Care and Wilderness Works located in the Metro Atlanta and Augusta areas.

“We have been so fortunate to be able to help children and families we never imagined being able to reach. It’s a blessing to have partners like the Associated Credit Union Foundation and their members who can help us expand our program to help more families in our area,” said Pat Smoke, manager of the Quinn House Christmas program.
