Bannockburn (IL) – In support of Great Lakes Credit Union’s initiative to support its communities, on April 13, 2017, GLCU’s Board Member, Shirley Solberg, presented $3,000 to A Safe Place in Zion, a local safe haven for battered women.
GLCU is proud to support the communities in which its members live. For the second year in a row, GLCU’s Board of Directors adopted an extraordinary plan to give back to its communities; the Branch Managers of each GLCU location work closely with Board Members to find local charities to support on behalf of GLCU.
A Safe Place is the leading advocate for eliminating domestic violence in northern Illinois. They create a welcoming environment and provide helpful information and training about domestic violence to students, professionals and the general community. A Safe Place also offers services for family members affected by domestic violence through art therapy for children, counseling services for the family, resume writing, and more.
