Reflecting on a Season of Giving at CRCU

Reflecting on the Holiday Season: CRCU's Commitment to Giving Back

The Spirit of Giving at CRCU

This past holiday season, we were reminded of the true spirit of the season—giving. At Community Resource Credit Union (CRCU), we believe that the holidays are a time to come together, share kindness, and make a difference in the lives of those around us. This year, our employees embraced this spirit wholeheartedly by adopting over 80 children in need.

Making Christmas Bright for Over 80 Children

Using their own money, CRCU employees shopped for, wrapped, and delivered gifts to ensure these children experienced the joy of the holidays. From toys and clothing to books and games, these presents were carefully chosen with love and thoughtfulness. The smiles on the children's faces and the gratitude expressed by their families reminded us why giving back is at the heart of who we are.

A 30-Year Partnership with Lamar Elementary School

Our efforts were made possible through our longstanding partnership with Lamar Elementary School, a relationship that spans over 30 years. As one of CRCU’s cherished Partners in Education, Lamar Elementary has been more than just a partner—they have been a cornerstone of our community involvement. Together, we have built strong, meaningful relationships with the staff, students, and families, creating a bond rooted in mutual support and care.

Gratitude from the Community

The staff at Lamar Elementary expressed heartfelt thanks for CRCU’s continued commitment to their school and community. Their appreciation reflects the impact of this partnership and the difference it makes in the lives of so many.

More Than a Financial Institution

This initiative and others like it embody the essence of CRCU. We are more than a financial institution; we are a community dedicated to making a positive difference. Whether it’s through our partnerships, our programs, or our personal contributions, CRCU strives to uphold values of compassion, generosity, and connection.

Looking Ahead to a New Year of Giving

As we move forward into 2025, we’re inspired to continue making a difference in our community. The joy and gratitude experienced during this holiday season fuel our commitment to serve and uplift those around us. From all of us at CRCU, we wish you a prosperous and joyful New Year.
