BRIGHAM CITY, Utah–Box Elder Credit Union said it has now completed a year-long celebration of its 65th anniversary after having sponsored 65 acts of kindness to its members and the community of Box Elder County throughout 2019.
“Our employees were so excited to get involved and surprise some of our members and people in the community with random acts of kindness,” said Box Elder Credit Union Chief Marketing Officer Tonya Gail. “Everyone knows someone who could use some kindness and a friendly smile.”
The credit union’s first act of kindness was organized to honor local law enforcement and provide them lunch on Law Enforcement Day. From there, the credit union said the acts of kindness grew to give much-needed funds and items to community non-profits, school organizations, members and random citizens in the community. Everyone got involved, according to CEO Scott Webre.
“The credit union has always been community-minded and believed in the philosophy of people helping people,” said Gail. “We’ve supported the community and the people who live here in so many ways, whether it’s monetarily or through service, but more often than not, we give, support and serve quietly. Most of what we do to give to our community is never known.”
