Horizon Credit Union hosted its ninth annual Go. Give. Grow. community service event on Sept. 15. All Horizon locations closed at noon so employees, leaders and board members could volunteer with 22 nonprofits across four states.

Aligning with the credit union’s philanthropic focus on health, hunger, and education, volunteers supported nonprofits addressing housing and hunger challenges throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. Several projects also addressed educational needs by providing nourishing snacks for young students so they can focus on learning.

“Go. Give. Grow. is one of the best examples of what it means to be a credit union,” said Jeff Adams, Horizon President and CEO. “When hundreds of team members step away from their desks and into the community, we see firsthand how much can be accomplished through collaboration and service. Every year, I’m inspired by the passion our employees bring to these projects and the impact they make for our nonprofit partners. Together, we’re helping build stronger, healthier communities across the Northwest.”

In addition to time spent volunteering for Go. Give. Grow., every volunteer receives 24 hours of paid volunteer time per year to use during work hours. Employees who volunteer 100 or more hours in a year receive a $500 donation to a nonprofit of their choice.
