THE SUMMIT FEDERAL CREDIT UNION TEAMS UP WITH VILLA OF HOPE TO SUPPORT THOSE IN NEED THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

Rochester, N.Y. The Summit Federal Credit Union is supporting those in need in the Rochester region this holiday season by supporting Villa of Hope.

Since 2016, The Summit has supported Villa of Hope’s Holiday Wishes program which gives our community the opportunity to fulfill the wishes of over 500 Rochester-area children and youth who either live at Villa of Hope, or with their families, trying to heal from trauma and rebuild their lives. From November 28th to December 31st, each Rochester branch of The Summit will have a display with wish tags included. Those who wish to participate can take a tag from the poster and purchase some (or all) of the gifts included on the tag and return the unwrapped gift to The Summit branch or participating drop-off points around Rochester. For more info and the full list of drop-off locations visit: www.villaofhope.org/holiday-wishes.

The Summit will also be supporting FeedMore WNY in Buffalo; and the United Way in Syracuse, Seneca Falls, and Cortland throughout the holiday season.

“We recognize now, more than ever, that an increasing number of our neighbors in Monroe and surrounding counties are in need of the programs and services offered by Villa of Hope as it partners with individuals, families and communities to rebuild relationships, recover potential, and renew hope for the future,” said Twanda Christensen, The Summit’s Vice President of Marketing and Community Engagement. “Villa of Hope and the other not-for-profit organizations that we are partnering with this holiday season, provide vital services to Western and Central New York and the Finger Lakes, and our hope is to not only collect sizeable donations for them, but to raise awareness of the work that they do in our communities.”
