CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich.—To commemorate its 60th anniversary, Michigan Schools and Government CU has launched a project called “A Year of Giving Back.”
Each month one of the MSGCU branches will partner with an organization in their neighborhood to support a program serving the community. The partnerships are designed to help the local programs and organizations better complete their own missions of service, according to the credit union.
"Our 60 years of success is directly tied to the relationships we have in our communities,” MSGCU President and CEO Peter Gates said in a statement to the Michigan CU League. “We provide help where it’s needed, whether that's funding college scholarships or helping start a career as a first responder. For this initiative, the team at each of our MSGCU branches identified where the specific need was in their community. Throughout the year, we’ll partner with these organizations and people. In the process, we’ll also enjoy a year-long celebration of our communities and what we can accomplish working together."
The first initiative is a collaboration between the Clinton-Macomb Township Library and the MSGCU main office branch in Clinton Township. MSGCU is providing funding to create “Story Time To Go Kits” for young families. Once completed, the new kits funded by MSGCU will be presented at a library Story Time in March. Credit union members will also participate in Story Time activities.
Upcoming ‘A Year of Giving Back’ collaborations will feature initiatives with the Michigan Humane Society and Vision Hope, in partnership with the MSGCU branches in Shelby Township and St. Clair Shores, respectively.
