This year GLCUs Board of Directors has adopted an extraordinary plan to give back. GLCU is proud to announce it is donating $39,000 in support of 13 organizations located within the communities of their branches throughout Lake, McHenry, Cook, DuPage, and Will counties in Illinois.

On February 8, 2016, Stephen Park, GLCU Board Member, and Erica Carrillo, GLCU Gurnee Branch Manager, presented a $3,000 check to Kristina Kovarik, Gurnee Mayor, Jeremy Gaughan, Police Sgt., and Kevin M.
