FOLSOM, Calif. (PRWEB) December 29, 2021 - SAFE Credit Union employees collectively donated $20,000 to nonprofits serving the Greater Sacramento region during its Joy & Kindness Campaign.

Each team at SAFE was provided with $300 to give to select nonprofits as cash grants or to purchase in-kind donations to support holiday gift drives and other services. This is the second year SAFE Credit Union has held the program, doubling its budget from last year.

SAFE employees love to support our community, says SAFE Credit Union Community Impact Manager Amanda Merz. They give in so many ways throughout the year through volunteer opportunities, participating in Big Day of Giving, and serving on nonprofit boards. This end of the year event is unique in that teams can come together to choose which organization to give to directly and add more money if they wish.

SAFE employees could choose from among dozens of nonprofits, including food banks, groups providing support to families battling cancer, organizations assisting Afghan refugees, and other organizations providing services to women, LGBTQ+, and underserved populations.

Other teams volunteered to stuff stockings for children and sort food at food banks.

SAFE provides $400,000 in philanthropy, grants, scholarships, and direct donations each year to nonprofits and students. SAFE focuses its giving on three pillars: health; financial education; and current and former military personnel.
