TUCSON, Ariz.— Hughes Federal Credit Union has received the Dora Maxwell Social Responsibility Community Service Award for its "70 Acts of Kindness" campaign.
Hughes' “70 Acts of Kindness” campaign marked 70 years of serving Southern Arizona.
The credit union said it exceeded its goal by performing over 100 acts of generosity, including helping create a sensory program geared to the needs of neurodiverse and autistic children, a $12,000 donation to the Tucson Wildlife Center and strategic support for local institutions like Banner Health and Angel Charity for Children.
Beyond these financial contributions, Hughes dedicated countless volunteer hours and offered financial education to area schools, all while delivering direct assistance to members, such as gas cards, in alignment with its community-first spirit.
"This award goes beyond the four walls of our credit union. It's a testament to our unwavering commitment to Southern Arizona and its residents," says Elisa Ross, vice president of marketing, sales and services. “Our '70 Acts of Kindness' campaign was a reflection of our foundational belief: community upliftment and financial service go hand in hand."
