HERNDON, Va.–The NWFCU Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Northwest Federal Credit Union, said as part of its ongoing support for COVID-19 relief it has delivered more than 35,000 diapers and pull-ups to the Northern Virginia Diaper Bank, bringing the total to over 50,000 diapers since the drive began on April 1.
The NWFCU Foundation said it strives to reach well beyond its goals when it comes to protecting those in the greatest need, and that none is more vulnerable than the smallest in our communities.
“When Northwest Federal Credit Union employees temporarily began working remotely in light of the global pandemic, the Foundation still had a job to do, and it was even bigger than before,” NWFCU said. “The Diaper Drive was scheduled to launch and a pandemic wasn’t going to change the fact that there were children in need. Conducted through online fundraising, including Facebook and Amazon, the Diaper Drive results have been exponentially greater than ever anticipated. Due to the kindness and generosity of our members, employees and staunchest corporate supporters like Whitney Bradley and Brown (WBB), TekMasters and Verint, we have been able to provide relief for hundreds of families in need.”
“So many lives are being changed for the better by the dedicated generous support of our donors,” said Kaycee Childress, executive director. “All of us at the Foundation are beyond grateful for the outpouring of support that we have received in helping the smallest among us.”
