031NEW HAVEN Conn. � As part of its philanthropic program, ConnexCares, Connex Credit Union recently teamed up with Habitat for Humanity of Greater New Haven �to participate in its annual local Habitat for Humanity build. This year, volunteers from Connex rolled up their sleeves and helped paint the first and second floors of a brand new home located at 25 Hawthorne Road in New Haven. In addition to their physical contributions, Connex donated $1,000 for continued support towards Habitat for Humanitys efforts. "It was extremely rewarding watching my fellow colleagues come together to help such an incredible organization," said Louise Nestor, director of marketing, Connex Credit Union. "We were thrilled to lend our assistance, and we look forward to helping out each year. ConnexCares is a pivotal piece in the foundation of the values of our credit union."
