AmeriCU team members are available for charitable organizations that need assistance for events or activities, according to an announcement from the area credit union.

AmeriCU works to embody the principle of “people helping people” and encourages employees to be actively involved in the community, the announcement said. In support of AmeriCU’s community involvement, a new initiative ‘A Personal Day of Meaning’ has been created.

The initiative grants a paid 8-hour day for each AmeriCU employee so that they can volunteer at a local charity of their choice.  

“AmeriCU focuses on making personal connections within our community and that is why providing this opportunity for our team members allows us to be able to make a greater impact in the communities and our members we serve,” said Karen LaPlante, chief talent officer at AmeriCU.    

Charitable organizations that are in need of volunteers for events or activities in our community can submit a request to www.americu.org/in-our-community
