Minot, ND – Employees of GEM Federal Credit Union recently presented Ward County Deputies with blankets they had collected. The blanket drive was held at the credit union with members of the credit union either donating blankets or funds to purchase blankets. In turn, those blankets will be placed in the marked patrol cars and utilized by deputies to give comfort and protection to people who are involved in emergency incidents such as traffic accidents or domestic violence situations. Thanks to the generosity of members and staff, the credit union was able to donate 35 blankets to Ward County Sheriff’s Department.
