(Somerville, MA) Naveo Credit Union collected $1,300 for the American Red Cross Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund in just over a week. Funds were collected from employees and members the week after the Hurricane hit Texas. To jumpstart the collection, Naveo employees went casual for a day in exchange for a $10 donation and then encouraged members at the branches to donate as well.

With the amount of coverage and exposure on the Hurricane, many people were aware that aid was needed in Houston, but weren’t sure how they could help. Naveo provided a safe and secure place to donate. In addition, Naveo then matched the dollars collected for a total donation of $1,300.

“In the Credit Union spirit of ‘People Helping People’, I’m once again impressed with our members’ and staff commitment to helping people in need. Hurricane Harvey disrupted the lives of many people and I’m glad we’ve been able to assist families that are in need of basic essentials,” commented Rui F. Domingos, CEO at Naveo Credit Union.
