Peach State FCU and Toys for Tots Unite in Holiday Spirit

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA (December 27, 2023) – Peach State Federal Credit Union’s annual toy drive in support of the Marine Toys for Tots program was a success! Every year, the credit union uses their branch locations as convenient drop-off sites for community members to support Toys for Tots. The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys and deliver them as holiday gifts to less fortunate children in the community. 

“The annual toy drive unites all of us in the holiday spirit by helping families in need and giving back to our communities,” says said Demitra Houlis, Peach State’s Chief Administrative Officer and Foundation President. “It’s one of the many efforts that align with the credit union’s C.A.R.E.S Foundation, which supports local charities, food banks, and school systems with the goal of helping our communities thrive. The Foundation helps brings the credit union philosophy of ‘people helping people’ to life and we’re proud to support the efforts of Toys for Tots program.”

In 2021, Peach State introduced the Peach State FCU C.A.R.E.S. Foundation with a goal of helping neighbors through contributions throughout our service area. Because of the C.A.R.E.S. Foundation, meaningful contributions are made within local communities that positively impact the lives of those who live in them.
