GLENDORA Calif.— America’s Christian Credit Union (ACCU) said it strives to live out its mission “ To Reach, Serve and Teach” in and around the local community. This year, employees have been challenged and energized by a new initiative entitled “Live the Mission,” wherein the goal is to maximize charitable opportunities resulting in a greater community presence and focus on Christ-like servant leadership.
To that end ACCU presented a check to Shepherd’s Pantry in the amount of $1,047.50 and a check to Neighborhood Homework House (NHH) in the amount of $1,082.50. The checks represented the total of funds contributed by ACCU employees via payroll deduction to these two ‘charities of choice’ in the second quarter of 2015.
One of the components to ‘Live the Mission’ is a voluntary staff payroll deduction to any of ACCU’s three charities of choice. ACCU matches 50% of the total that is raised. Mendell L. Thompson, President and CEO of America’s Christian Credit Union, presented the checks referenced above to Steve Sharp, President of the Shepherd’s Pantry Board of Directors and to Jennifer Hicks, Executive Director of NHH.
