AlliedFCU Staff and Members Empower Children, Donate School Supplies and $1,300 to Local Schools
August 31, 2023
Allied Federal Credit Union staff and members donated school supplies throughout the summer at all AlliedFCU branches to help local students in need. Credit Union staff delivered them to 4 schools throughout Arlington and Mansfield. These schools also received a total of $1,300 as part of AlliedFCU’s Casual for a Cause program.
“Lacking adequate supplies is about more than missing a pencil or marker. It’s about confidence and emotional wellbeing,” said Tonia Clark, CEO of Allied Federal Credit Union. “There’s shame and stress that comes with looking around and realizing you have less than your peers. We wanted to remove those barriers and give local kids from lower income families a real chance at academic success.”
AlliedFCU’s Casual for a Cause program encourages staff to donate to local causes in exchange for dressing casually at work. An employee committee selects a different cause for credit union staff to support each month.
