Hephzibah, GA (September 23, 2019) – Peach State Federal Credit Union contributed $10,000 to help put the finishing touches on Warrick Dunn Charities’ 171st Home for the Holidays celebration.

The homeowner is a single mother of three and a veteran of the Army Reserves who is pursuing a bachelor’s degree and volunteers in the community.

“Being a part of Warrick Dunn Charities’ Homes for the Holidays program is an example of our commitment to the communities we serve,” remarked Peach State’s President/CEO, Marshall Boutwell.  “We are honored to a part of such a special occasion for this deserving family and we wish them happiness in their new home.”
