Credit Union Spreads Joy During Holiday Season
January 9, 2014
Freedom employees partnered with the Salvation Army and participated in their Adopt-an-Angel program, in which employees helped over 50 children by purchasing gifts for them from their wish list. Also, in an effort to increase community participation, Freedom had Toys for Tots bins at its various branches.� Members began filling the bins in November and by mid-December, all of the bins were overflowing with toys, bringing the total to over 125 toys collected.
Every year, Freedom Credit Union employees vote for their favorite charity and the two charities with the most employee votes each receive a donation of $100.� This year, the �charity with the most Freedom employee votes was Team Doyle: Betty & Tom Doyle.� The Doyles are a Northampton couple who were seriously injured when something shattered the drivers side window of their Chevrolet Silverado on I-95 near the Chippenham Parkway exit. The Doyles were headed south to visit their son in Florida on October 10, 2013. They will receive $100.� The charities receiving the second most votes were the Brian J. Wittig Memorial Enrichment Fund which benefits the Eastern PA Down Syndrome Center and the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia.� Each of these charities will receive $50.
