Hanscom Federal Credit Union is a purpose-driven organization based in Littleton, MA, empowering its members to achieve financial wellness. Guided by its five core values of Members First, Integrity, Teamwork, Innovation and Empathy, Hanscom FCU serves more than 100,000 members across the country.
Hanscom AFB, MA (December 24, 2018) – Hanscom FCU recently donated $1,000 worth of toiletries and personal care items to the VA Boston Healthcare System on the Brockton campus. This donation furthers the credit union’s ongoing commitment to supporting the health and welfare of our nation’s veterans.
Items like soap, shampoo, conditioner, reading glasses, nail files and clippers, brushes, toiletry bags, and shaving cream are appreciated by patients at the hospital, who often find it difficult to obtain the personal care items they need.
“It’s just a small way for us to show our appreciation for and support of veterans who’ve served our country,” said Paul Marotta, Hanscom FCU’s Chairman of the Board. “We hope these items will make their stay more comfortable and help them feel good during what can be a stressful, uncertain hospital stay.”
The hospital on the Brockton campus offers both short- and long-term care to veterans, including rehabilitation, medical, and hospice care.
