HOPE Services Hawaii Inc. and the Children’s Miracle Network will receive a combined total of nearly $49,000 in donations raised by the Hawaii Community Federal Credit Union.
“Our Hawaii Island community is driven by the true spirit of that word — community,” HCFCU President and CEO Tricia Buskirk told the Hawaii Tribune-Herald. “No matter how tough times may be or the challenges we face, we come together to help one another in big and small ways. Coming together in times of need is fundamental to who we are and who we strive to be.”
The Hawaii Tribune-Herald reports HOPE Services will be provided with $26,000 while the Children’s Miracle Network will be given $22,924. The funding was raised during Market Day events in October. Donations came from a percentage of sales from local businesses, commemorative ribbons sales and credit union employees.
“While the COVID-19 pandemic shifted the way in-person donations were collected, it did not diminish the generosity of participants,” the Tribune-Herald article states.
