KAILUA-KONA — Through the support of donations and pledges across all of its five branches, the staff of Hawaii Community Federal Credit Union (HCFCU) has raised $16,531 during its Hawaii Island United Way (HIUW) annual employee campaign. All monies will be donated to HIUW to support its mission “to unite people, organizations, and resources to build a healthier community.”
“Each year our staff opens their hearts — and wallets — to support those in need,” said Tricia Buskirk, president and CEO of Hawaii Community Federal Credit Union.
The Hawaii Island United Way invests in 54 health and human service programs that reach over 75 percent of Hawaii Island families and individuals each year. All funded programs fall within the parameters of its Community Care Impact Initiatives, which include education (encouraging and nurturing positive values to develop skills in children, youth and adults), income (empowering families and individuals to become financially stable; increasing self-sufficiency and independence) and health (providing for basic needs and a safety net of services that promote prevention and encourage healing and recovery).
Hawaii Community Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit credit union owned by its more than 40,000 member/owners with branches in Honokaa, Kailua-Kona, Kaloko, Kealakekua and Kohala.
