RUTLAND—At a Chamber & Economic Development of the Rutland Region (CEDRR) winter mixer held on Dec. 10 at the Ron Hance Operations Center, Heritage Family Credit Union (HFCU) presented five Rutland County nonprofits, each with a $5,000 donation in recognition of their contributions to the local community.
The CEDRR mixer drew more than 150 attendees, who enjoyed an evening of festive fun and inspiring presentations by the five donation recipients.
“It’s always heartening to hear about all the good work being done by our local nonprofits,” said HFCU President/CEO Chris Gomez. “During this time when we typically take a look back, it is especially meaningful to reflect on how many lives are brightened and made better each year because of their efforts.”
The five nonprofits receiving donations at the mixer were Rutland Community Cupboard, Rutland County Pride, Rutland Free Library, Habitat for Humanity of Rutland County, and the Rutland Area NAACP. Joining Gomez in recognizing the recipients was Kim Griffin, executive director of The Mint, who sits on the Heritage Family Credit Union board and its Heritage Family Cares 4 You Foundation.
“Heritage Family Credit Union is honored to support the continued impact these recipients make every single day in Rutland County,” said HFCU Senior Vice President of Retail Ryan Butler, who leads the Credit Union’s philanthropic efforts. “We are proud to stand alongside them and all our nonprofit partners who share the same unwavering commitment to the local communities we all are so privileged to serve.”
