Members First Credit Union Donates $23K To Local United Way For Team Donation Match

Members First Credit Union (M1) and its team members participated in United Way’s annual charitable giving campaign by donating to seven United Way organizations across Michigan. Nearly 100 M1 team members pledged $11,535 to United Way, and the amount was proudly matched by M1 for a total pledge of $23,070.

“Though I am not surprised, I am incredibly proud of our team’s radical generosity! They collaborated to wholeheartedly participate in United Way’s annual campaign,” says M1’s Chief Executive Officer Carrie Iafrate. “This was one of the largest contributions we have ever pledged. We know our gift brings hope to so many neighbors in the communities we serve.”

The seven Michigan United Way organizations are:

• Heart of West Michigan United Way
• Mecosta and Osceola Counties United Way
• United Way of Bay County
• United Way of Clare and Gladwin Counties
• United Way of Gratiot and Isabella Counties
• United Way of Midland County
• United Way of Saginaw County

“We’re so grateful for our partnership with Members First,” shared Andrea Plouff, Relationship Manager at United Way of Midland County. “Their commitment to supporting the community is incredible and shows their caring spirit. Through their generous donations to the credit union's workplace campaign, Members First employees have made a significant impact on the lives of many. These contributions provide vital support for community programs offered by our partner agencies. Because of their support, parents can afford groceries, families have safe and affordable housing, and teenagers have access to mental health care – and these are just a few examples.”
