AUBURN HILLS, Mich.–Cornerstone Community Financial Credit Union is marking its 70th anniversary this year with 70 random acts of kindness throughout 2021, worth approximately $10,000.
The acts of kindness will take place in its markets in southeast Michigan and Perrysburg, Ohio.
Cornerstone Community Financial said the 70th anniversary/70 acts of kindness effort kicked-off in January with hundreds of dollars in wish list donations to the Michigan Humane Society, Rochester Hills Center for Animal Care, the Tigerlily Cat Rescue and the Toledo Humane Society.
In addition, the credit union provided the City of Troy Police Department with on-the-go drinks and snacks for officers on patrol.
The credit union said each month, additional donations, volunteer hours, gifts/prizes and surprises will be shared with CCF members, area residents, non-profit organizations, first responder units and schools located in and around communities with CCF branch locations.
Member Input Sought
“Growing and maintaining a successful community-based business over seven decades requires the trust, support and dedication of many people in many places,” said Heidi Kassab, CCF president and CEO. “We know how lucky we are to be able to serve our members and support the communities in which we do business, and we want to do our small part to show our appreciation for their patronage and backing over the years, as we celebrate this achievement, 70 years in the making.”
The $290-million Cornerstone Community said it is encouraging member input on which organizations to which to direct support. For those interested, ideas and recommendations for the CCF 70 acts of kindness can be submitted by e-mail to marketing@CCFinancial.com.
