LANSING, Mich.–Credit unions across Michigan took part in CU Kind Day, an annual tradition designed to showcase the credit union difference through donations and volunteering.
“Giving back to members, communities and beyond is part of what makes credit unions different, and this annual day of kindness is Michigan’s chance to show communities throughout the state how much credit unions care,” the Michigan Credit Union League said.
While this is the first year Michigan credit unions have participated, CU Kind Day was founded in 2019 by the Illinois Credit Union League, but it began its life in Minnesota. Since then, the Minnesota Credit Union Network, the Cornerstone League and the League of Southeastern Credit Unions have taken part in their own statewide days of kindness.
The response from Michigan credit unions has been immense, according to the league, which said it had 74 of its member CUs participate, along with contributions from MCUL and CUNA.
In total, more than 3,500 volunteers provided nearly $150,000 in goods and donations — all of which positively impacted approximately 24,000 people.
MCUL put together a publication to show the works that the Michigan credit union movement did for 2022 CU Kind Day, which can be found here.
‘Incredibly Proud’
“I am incredibly proud of how Michigan credit unions embraced our first CU Kind Day. We know that our credit unions provide for their communities all year round, but it’s powerful to see those efforts showcased on one day and by so many,” said MCUL CEO Patty Corkery.
