Plus It Forward Day is one of our favorite traditions at Affinity Plus. We celebrate each year on Indigenous Peoples' Day, sending out more than 600 employees into their communities to volunteer.
It’s up to the Affinity Plus teams and branches to decide how they’d like to spend their time volunteering, which ensures the decisions being made for these communities are made by people who live and work in them.
This work can look like packaging meals at food banks and food shelves, putting together hygiene kits for local nonprofits, making tie blankets for our neighbors in shelters and senior centers, working on Habitat for Humanity sites, creating care packages for members, and so much more!
We had the 13th year of Plus It Forward this year on October 13, and the movement to do good in our communities keeps growing – even beyond Affinity Plus. More than 60 other credit unions now participate in their respective communities!
We’re thrilled with the progress this special day has made, within Affinity Plus and beyond.
