Lowell, Mass — Fall is the perfect time of the year to give thanks and to give back. And that is why members of the Mills42 FCU Team devoted hours of their time to The Merrimack Valley Food Bank on September 29th. 

The MVFB has been feeding residents of our community who are in need since 1991, and their mission of “sharing food and changing lives” is one that the Mills42 FCU Team embraces wholeheartedly.

Mills42 CEO, Derek Cronin, has this to say about the team’s eff orts. “On this particular day, our assignment was to fi ll bags with food that were then distributed to students throughout the Lowell school system. What a wonderful thing it is to be able to participate in improving the welfare of these kids—who are the future of our community. And the fact that their families benefi tted, as well, is the proverbial icing on the cake.”

As always, Cronin emphatically makes this point about Mills42: “We’re a community credit union,” And we love our community. Making a diff erence by volunteering with local non-profi ts is one of the many ways we get to show that love month in and month out.”

Mills42 FCU was chartered in 1958 to serve the employees and families of M/A-COM Technology Solutions. In 2005 the credit union expanded their charter to serve specifi c communities within Greater Lowell, Massachusetts, and moved to their current location at 83 Merrimack Street in downtown Lowell. In addition to English, the credit union has team members who are fl uent in Spanish, Portuguese and Khmer. Mills42 has more than 3,000 members and assets of over $27 million.
