LIVONIA, MI (February 11, 2013) – Co-op Services’ members recently donated approximately $175 and nearly 100 pounds of canned food for Gleaners Community Food Bank at the credit union’s 4th Annual Rock n’ Roller Skate Party. It is estimated their donations will provide close to 700 meals to help feed the hungry in the Detroit area.
“We’re always amazed by our members’ generosity,” said Jeremy Cybulski, Co-op Services’ youth and community development coordinator.
Cybulski organized the annual skating party for the credit union’s Rock Star Savers and their families. The Rock Star Savers program is designed for children through age 11 to help teach them about saving money.
The party was held at the Bonaventure Skate Center in Farmington Hills and included free games, skate rentals, prize drawings, pizza and pop.
The credit union’s popular Rock Star Mascot was also on hand to greet the young members and pose with them for individual picture-taking. Rock Star Mascot is a frequent visitor to nine local elementary and middle schools that have student credit unions in partnership with Co-op Services.
“We are a family-oriented credit union,” added Cybulski. “The skating party is a fun event and by helping Gleaners, the children also learned the importance of giving back to others in need.”
