The ongoing warmth and generosity of Hawaii Community Federal Credit Union’s staff will provide Hawaii Island United Way, and the dozens of service organizations it supports, with more than $17,520 in funds.  The monies raised during the credit union’s annual employee campaign — which surpassed its previous annual donations — will benefit Hawaii Islanders through community impact initiatives including education, health, and financial stability.

Demonstrating compassion and a strong conviction to care for Hawaii Islanders in need, Hawaii Community Federal Credit Union (HCFCU) raised $24,281 for Hope Services Hawaii, Inc. (HOPE) during HCFCU’s annual “Market Days” events. Market Days occur every October in honor of International Credit Union Week. Event sponsor, Cal-Kona Produce, generously provided fruits and vegetables; local businesses donated silent auction items; and shoppers found great buys on baked goods, clothing, jewelry, crafts, and more. Participating vendors donated 20% of their sales to the cause. HCFCU employees also held work lunch fundraisers and sold ribbons to raise additional money. As the credit union’s Triennial Social Responsibility partner, HOPE is the beneficiary of HCFCU’s Market Days fundraising activities 2018 through 2020.
