With help from its members, MSUFCU provided gifts to more than 150 children.
EAST LANSING, MI—Each year, MSU Federal Credit Union (MSUFCU) teams up with its members to make the holidays bright for children in the Lansing and Auburn Hills areas. MSUFCU partnered with Michigan State University’s University Housing, Child and Family Charities, and Auburn Hills Firefighters Helping Hands for its 2012 Giving Tree.
A Giving Tree was placed in every MSUFCU branch in November 2012 with gift tags available for selection, each printed with an individual child’s wish list. MSUFCU members had the option to select a gift tag from the Giving Tree and purchase some of the suggested gifts or to make a monetary donation. MSUFCU staff members volunteered their time to shop for the remaining presents.
Sixty children from MSU’s University Housing and ninety-four children from Child and Family Charities received gifts from their holiday wish lists. Five children from the Auburn Hills Firefighters Helping Hands program received gifts, and a check for more than $1,100 was also presented to this organization.
MSU Federal Credit Union, the world’s largest university-based credit union, offers a full range of personal- and business-related financial services to Michigan State University and Oakland University faculty, staff, students, alumni association members, and their families worldwide in addition to a variety of select employee groups. Founded in 1937 by a few MSU professors and employees, MSUFCU now has over 169,000 members, more than $2.3 billion in assets, and over 475 employees.
