Credit Union Book Drive Helps Children in Need

Hanscom AFB, Mass. Hanscom Federal Credit Union proudly made another contribution to the Massachusetts Credit Union Leagues statewide book drive, collecting 4,729 books that will find their way into the hands of kids in shelters, hospitals and other non-profits throughout the state. Hanscom FCU, continuing its collaboration with the Hanscom Air Force Base �thrift shop, has now contributed to all 13 years of the MCULs most well-known charitable event. Credit unions from throughout Massachusetts have combined to collect over 200,000 books over the years, all distributed to children in need by the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless. "Everyone involved looks forward to this process every year," said Hanscom FCU Chairman of the Board Paul Marotta. "Matching up books that need a new home with children who can enjoy them is as satisfying as anything we do."
