ALEXANDRIA, Va.– Democracy Federal Credit Union donated $500 to Christ Church, located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria.
Democracy FCU’s relationship with Christ Church began in early 2020 as a partner to help address financial literacy needs in/around the Alexandria community. As needs changed and increased due to Covid-19, the credit union said its relationship increased with it.
“We are excited to donate to Christ Church for the benefit of the Lazarus Ministry. Anything that we can do to further their good work, especially during this time of need, helps make our community stronger,” said Ken Cahoon, Democracy FCU CEO/president.
The credit union said feeding the hungry is not selective to a faith denomination, it is also a communal awareness that is heightened during times such as these. Democracy FCU said it realizes the importance to contribute, as” we are also not immune to the hardship caused by Covid-19. The amazing work done through the Lazarus Ministry has allowed Democracy FCU to directly support other key players in the metropolitan area to fight against food deficiencies. We were delighted to donate to a great partner and a ministry that helps so many others in the areas that we serve.”
“It is great to have Democracy FCU as partners,” stated Melanie Gray, director of Outreach & Mission at Christ Church.
