Granite City, IL - GCS Credit Union employees joined together to raise $1,120 in the month of November. This generous donation helped impact seven organizations within our local community. GCS Credit Union’s Casual for a Cause program is funded solely by the staff members. With a monthly donation of $15 or more to a local nonprofit, GCS employees are able to wear jeans to work on Fridays and Saturdays.
During the month of November, GCS staff donated to the following worthy causes: Good Samaritan House, Moms On a Mission, Partners 4 Pets, Collinsville Head Start and Family Services, Happy Hooves Equine Rescue, Community Care Center, and 5A’s Animal Shelter.
