PLYMOUTH, Minn. (January 20, 2017) − On Friday, January 6, 2017, TruStone Financial Federal Credit Union held a company-wide Charity Casual Day, where staff was able to wear casual attire in exchange for donations to a nonprofit organization. This month’s Charity Casual Day was held for The Shalom Center, a non-profit organization that provides food, shelter and support service needs to the homeless and low-income population of Kenosha, Wisconsin.
