Lake Trust Credit Union (Lake Trust), a community-based credit union serving nearly 200,000 members and businesses throughout Michigan, announced its team has supported 28 nonprofit organizations across the state by completing volunteer hours and donating a total of $41,400 as part of its seventh annual Powered by Good Day.
“Lake Trust’s annual Powered by Good Day is an event that we cherish every year, as it gives us all the chance to come together to create a positive impact in the communities around us,” said David Snodgrass, president of Lake Trust. “Through the partnerships we forge and the support we provide, we have continued to make a difference across the state, and events like Powered by Good Day are a shining example of how we live our mission to support financial wellbeing in the communities we serve.”
On Monday, October 14, Lake Trust team members spent the day volunteering at community centers, food banks, libraries, shelters and more.
