Elevations CU

Employees from the $2 billion Elevations Credit Union in Boulder, Colo., paint bowls for the Colorado non-profit OUR Center. OUR Center's mission is to stop hunger in the local community and help families become self-sufficient. OUR Center's annual Empty Bowls event raises money to help the organization feed more than 16,000 households every year. Elevations employees joined others in the community to hand-paint bowls. These bowls are filled with soup at the event and attendees can take their bowl home after the meal.

By selling old computer monitors and keyboards, credit union staff members were able to raise $2,000 in support of the non-profit. Several Coca-Cola CU employees also donated their time to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, where they served breakfast and a wide variety of Coca-Cola beverages to deserving children, parents and hospital staff.
