Andrews Supports Communities this Holiday Season

ANDREWS FEDERAL SUPPORTS COMMUNITIES THROUGH TURKEY GIVEAWAY, ADOPT A FAMILY PROGRAM AND CREDIT UNION-WIDE TOY DRIVE

During the holiday season, Andrews Federal Credit Union employees focused on giving back to their communities through a variety of programs, including:

• Turkey giveaway: Andrews Federal partnered with local churches, synagogues, food banks and schools to give away 500 holiday turkeys to Prince George’s County, Md. families in need.
• Adopt A Family: Andrews Federal supported military service members at Joint Base Andrews, Joint Base Mcguire-Dix-Lakehurst and the overseas military installations where the credit union has a presence. Through the Adopt A Family program, Andrews Federal was able to support 125 families during the holiday seasons.
• Gift card donations: Andrews Federal provided 100 gift cards to reservists and their families on Joint Base Andrews.
• Credit union-wide toy drive: Andrews Federal hosted its first toy drive at all stateside and overseas branches. Employees and members contributed more than 200 toys, which were donated to local schools and community organizations.

According to credit union leadership, these programs are part of the credit union’s strong overall commitment to serving the military and the community. “It’s a joy and a privilege to give back to families in our communities,” said Damita Robinson, Chief Operations Officer for Andrews Federal Credit Union. “We continued our long-standing support of the Adopt A Squadron program, and we launched a new way for employees to help – our toy drive. Both show our commitment to making our communities stronger and the ‘people helping people’ credit union philosophy.”
