HERNDON, Va.–Northwest FCU here is marking its 70th anniversary by joining with community partners, members and employees in what it is calling “70 Acts of We.”
The actions “aim to benefit the communities the credit union serves as well as the members who have contributed to 70 successful years,” the credit union said in a statement.
For the first Act of We, Northwest Federal celebrated National Soup Month by donating 70 cans of soup to LINK, Inc., a local non-profit group dedicated to supplying emergency food to people in need. Northwest FCU challenged employees to match this number with their own donations, resulting in a total of 700 cans donated.
Other Acts of We in January included supporting an internal “MentorMe” program for National Mentoring Month, sponsoring the International Spy Museum’s SpyFest, holding a Westie's Kids Club Event at the Children’s Science Center for members, and donating art supplies and prize money to the Loudoun Art League for their Next Gen Art program.
“Northwest Federal exists and thrives because of its members,” said President and CEO Chris McDonald. “’70 Years of We’ and our 70 Acts are all about appreciating how far we’ve come as an organization and celebrating what we, our community, members, and employees, can do together.”
