ANAHEIM HILLS, Calif.–Credit Union of Southern California’s (CU SoCal) employee-inspired charity, CU SoCal Helping Hands, donated $20,000 to five non-profit organizations that work to advance the lives of those in the Black community.
The credit union reached out to its employees and asked them to nominate non-profit organizations that help Black communities and neighborhoods in CU SoCal’s field of membership. After careful consideration, five organizations were selected from the list of nominees. The five organizations selected were Black Women for Wellness, Children’s Defense Fund California, Riverside Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc., Unstoppable Awards, and Whittier College’s Black Student Union (BSU). CU SoCal Helping Hands volunteers met virtually with representative from each organization to present them with the donation.
”It is our hope these donations will help these organizations continue to do amazing work in advancing lives in the black community,” said CU SoCal Vice President of Business and Talent Development Melissa Manning.
