Donations

Aberdeen Proving Ground Federal Credit Union, Aberdeen, Md., hosted a successful community donation drive in August and September, collecting new school supplies for partner schools in Harford and Cecil counties. During its annual back-to-school supply drive, APGFCU members and employees donated over 1,200 items, including backpacks, lunch bags, notebooks, crayons, glue sticks and more. Collected items were distributed to the schoolchildren in September.

Andrews Federal Credit Union, Suitland, Md., donated $5,000 to the 2010 “New Jersey Run for the Fallen” event. During the event, a team of 28 active-duty and reserve service members from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst ran from Cape May, N.J., to Holmdel, N.J., in honor of fallen service members. The runners marked each mile with an American flag and signed a card in remembrance of New Jersey soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines killed in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. All proceeds raised from the event were donated to the Gold Star Mother’s National Monument being built in Washington, D.C.
