FREDERICK, MD In celebration of International Credit Union Day, Thursday, October 15th, Nymeo Federal Credit Union promoted the credit union philosophy of "people helping people" by giving back to the Frederick community through random acts of kindness for one full week. This is the second year that Nymeo has conducted these random acts throughout Frederick.
"Credit Unions are a cooperative of people helping people and that is exactly what Nymeo did by giving back to our businesses, members and nonmembers in the Frederick communitythrough these random acts of kindness," said Nymeo CEO and President Victoria M. Johnston. "We are proud to be a part of this community, and this week allows us to educate the community about credit unions and how we can actively become their financial partner for life."
During the week of October 12th, Nymeo randomly treated people in different ways including filling gas tanks at Sheetz on Rosemont Avenue and Frederick Shell on West Patrick Street; providing catered lunches for teachers at Waverly Elementary School and the Frederick County Fire and Rescue; bringing breakfast to the Frederick County Sheriffs Department and the City of Frederick Police Department; donating $500 to the YMCA to replenish supplies lost from a flood; buying soldiers lunch at AKA Friscos; treating Frederick Rescue Mission volunteers to lunch; treating the Frederick Boys and Girls Club volunteers to lunch; and buying lunches for customers at Jimmy Johns. Fredericks radio station, WFRE, partnered with Nymeo to conduct these random acts of kindness during the week.
Nymeo also held a contest through their website asking people to submit stories about others who exemplify people helping people always going out of their way to be kind and generous. The winner of the best story received $1000 and the person who made the nomination received a gift as well from Nymeo.
