Bannockburn (IL) – Great Lakes Credit Union (GLCU) acknowledges the sacrifices made by military personnel. To show gratitude to our armed forces and help those experiencing hardships, GLCU held an employee donation drive for the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans (MSHV).
MSHV’s mission is to provide veterans and their families with housing and supportive services that lead to self-sufficiency. To learn more, please visit http://helpaveteran.org/.
