“At IC Credit Union, we are dedicated to giving back to the communities we serve, and the Spanish American Center plays a crucial role in supporting countless families,” said Christopher P. Hendry, President, and CEO of IC Credit Union. “Their programs provide meaningful assistance when it’s needed most, and we’re honored to support an organization that makes such a positive impact on the lives of so many.”
The donation includes $2,380 raised by IC team members through their Jeans for Charity program, where employees contribute part of their paycheck to support local causes. IC Credit Union matches these donations to maximize their effect.
Neddy Latimer, Executive Director of the Spanish American Center, expressed her gratitude, stating, “This generous donation from IC Credit Union will allow us to continue serving families who are struggling. Whether it is providing food, housing support, or education, this contribution will help us deliver the services that people depend on. We are truly thankful for their partnership.”
