Chase Interior Savings Credit Union staff will be looking for things to do in October for International Credit Union Day.
In particular, the local credit union has a crew of 12 who are eager to help out local volunteer organizations from 2:30 to 5 p.m. on Oct. 19.
“They’re willing to do most anything: yard work, painting, envelope-stuffing, meal prep, or general chores. Just ask,” says an Interior Savings press release.
Interested organizations are asked to email kpollard@interiorsavings.com by Sept. 8, and include details on what the project is and how many volunteers are needed. Though Interior Savings may not be able to accommodate all the requests received, all organizations will be informed by Sept. 22.
Last year, the Chase team helped spruce up the local museum by cleaning the basement and cabin and also doing a little fall yard work.
“It is such an honour to volunteer as a team to support those who give their time, talents and heart to make our community strong and inclusive,” said local branch manager Kerri Koskimaki. “Whether it’s easing the burden on existing volunteers or getting one of those long overdue maintenance projects off the list, we’re here to help.”
Previously, the Chase team paired up with the leadership class at Chase Secondary to hand deliver phone books throughout the community.
“As a locally based cooperative, our success is tied to the success of our communities,” said Kathy Conway, Interior Savings CEO. “Day of Difference is our way of saying thanks to the non-profits and volunteers who give their time and their hearts to help build brighter futures, right here at home.”
