Security Service Charitable Foundation Donated $5,000 to THRU Project

(SAN ANTONIO, TX – OCTOBER 26, 2017)–– Security Service Charitable Foundation has presented THRU Project with a $5,000 donation to continue their mission of helping young adults transition out of foster care.

THRU Project is a non-profit organization supporting San Antonio foster youth as they age out of the foster care system. Often times, these young adults are alone and have no one to guide them through this critical time. THRU Project recruits and trains advisors to provide these young adults with one-on-one guidance. Additionally, THRU Project helps them get a job, apply for college and set up an apartment—fulfilling their mission of providing resources to achieve a successful life.

“We are currently facing a shortage of volunteers to help guide youth through their transition out of foster care and into succeeding on their own,” said Elaine Andries Hartle, executive director and co-founder of THRU Project. “This can be a difficult time for individuals and they need to know they have a community of support around them. Security Service’s donation is going to help us increase awareness of this need and ultimately grow our community, attaining more mentors.”

“We all do better in life when we have a strong team supporting us,” said Tom Martin, THRU Project board member and executive vice president/chief financial officer for Security Service Federal Credit Union. “THRU Project provides an amazing team of mentors for young adults facing the transition from foster care into a world of opportunities. We want them to feel empowered and understand their life has tremendous potential.  In order for that to happen, they need the right people around them.”

The Security Service Charitable Foundation helps further Security Service Federal Credit Union’s corporate goal of community service by contributing to deserving organizations and causes in the credit union's market areas.
