NAPERVILLE, Ill.–A record-breaking 78 Illinois credit unions and partners joined forces with the Illinois Credit Union League (ICUL) to participate this year in CU Kind Day, a state-wide initiative to spread kindness, according to the league.
Demonstrating the shared core value of “people helping people,” those within the Illinois credit union movement “rolled up their sleeves and harnessed the power of cooperation to support their local communities,” the ICUL stated.
According to the league, CU Kind Day united 2,900 credit union volunteers under a shared mission to empower their communities. Together, they supported 395 community organizations within Illinois and generated more than $93,000 in goods and donations, the league said.
The efforts included giving monetary donations, online wish list shopping, collecting drives for food and needed goods, volunteering at local organizations, donating classroom needs, supporting local shelters, delivering care packages and more.
‘Inspired’ Impact
“I’m inspired to see how the community impact of CU Kind Day has grown even through challenging times. It demonstrates that nothing can stop our Illinois credit unions in fulfilling their mission to serve their members and communities first,” said ICUL President/CEO Tom Kane. “I’m honored to be part of this movement and grateful for the chance to bring Illinois credit unions together for CU Kind Day. It’s an important way to inspire more acts of kindness while showing individuals within our communities that credit unions are here for them.”
The ICUL said it launched CU Kind Day in 2019 with the purpose of spreading kindness and generating awareness for the good work credit unions do in their communities and for their members.
