Team Members Donate $11,000 in Toys

More than 650 disadvantaged children will enjoy a brighter Christmas this year thanks to true team spirit at Arrowhead Credit Union. Arrowhead team members were able to exceed last year’s goal and donate more than $11,000 in toys to support the 27th Annual Celebration of Giving toy drive for Children’s Fund. “Every year the number of children that need our assistance grows and we were worried about meeting their needs, especially in light of recent tragedies. But every year, Arrowhead Credit Union comes through –this year with more than 650 gifts,” said Jane Nottingham, Events Coordinator for Children’s Fund. “It’s amazing how Arrowhead Credit Union supports at-risk children in our community.” “Our team wanted to make Christmas wishes come true in a big way this year,” said Arrowhead team member Ann Wadagnolo. “It breaks my heart when a request card from a child asks for a simple wish, like a blanket or pair of socks. Every child should have the basic necessities and a special gift to celebrate the holidays.” Since 1986, Children’s Fund, located in San Bernardino, has helped more than 1.4 million children who are impoverished, abused, neglected or abandoned. Children’s Fund gives vulnerable children support, opportunity, and hope by breaking destructive cycles through community partnerships.
