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 (November 22, 2019) – On Monday, November 18, Hanscom Federal Credit Union donated $1,000 worth of new toiletries, clothing, and personal care items to the VA Boston Healthcare System on the Brockton campus. The Brockton VA Medical Center offers both short- and long-term care to veterans, including rehabilitation, medical, psychiatric, and hospice care.
This donation continues the credit union’s ongoing commitment to supporting the health and welfare of our nation’s active duty service members and veterans. “We’re proud to be able to help support the care of these veterans who have given so much already,” said Ray Phillips, Hanscom FCU’s Chairman of the Board. “We hope these items will make their hospital stay more comfortable and show them that we continue to appreciate their sacrifices.”
Items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream, socks, shoes, and undergarments are appreciated by patients at the hospital, who often find it difficult to obtain the personal care items they need during their stay. Clothing items, in particular, are highly sought after by the Brockton VA Medical Center as they are infrequently donated. More information about donating to the VA Boston Healthcare System is available at www.boston.va.gov/giving/.
