One of the great parts of being a credit union in this community is the opportunity we have to give back to the area we call ‘home’.  As many of you know, by coming in to the branch, reading our social media or catching up on the website–we are deeply invested in supporting local charities and we extend the opportunities to you, our members, to help as well.  And help you do!  It seems each year there is more demand for charitable support and we do our best to apply our limited resources where we can.  To that, we wanted to highlight the charities we support so you can have the opportunity to learn where your donations go and why we as a credit union staff support these valuable entities helping our neighbors.

Dawson Place - A child advocacy center like few others we've ever seen, located in Everett providing safety, justice and healing to victims of child physical and sexual abuse, assult and neglect.  How can you help?  They have two wishlists of items that they are always in need of; inexpensive items that go a long way to helping a child or teen feel comfortable and at east.  Read more about Dawson Place and how you can help, click here.  In March 2023 the credit union will be collecting donations for the Dawson Place wish lists, either items or cash donations so we can purchase items.  We want to help make a difference for these children, no matter how large or small.  Please join us by collecting items and bringing them in to the branch any time we're open.  Follow this link to see the "teen" list, or for the younger group, follow this link for the Amazon wish list.  Thank you for your help.

Everett Animal Shelter - Everett Animal Shelter is committed to providing care and comfort to the homeless and abused pets in our community.  They do not turn any animal away. They take in stray animals, owner surrender pets and animals that have been seized by law enforcement as part of cruelty/investigation cases from 16 jurisdictions.  The need for care grows every year and in 2022 SnoCope wanted to partner with EAS to help with supplies and funds.  To read more about their need and how they care for all the animals in our community, follow this link to read the Spotlight on EAS.  You can help by donating to "Fund for the Animals" by following this link.  They are always in need of supplies and have Amazon wish lists for all the critters.  For dogs and cats, follow this link; for small animals, follow this link.  SnoCope will do our EAS support drive in April-May, a two month effor to gather supplies and cash donations.  Please drop off any supplies you'd like to send to their facility.
