San Diego CA— North Island Credit Union has partnered with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego to bring some holiday magic to hundreds of Club kids across San Diego County. The credit union recently donated over 200 new toys and gifts to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego as part of its annual Holiday Life Changers program. Credit union volunteers were also on hand during the event to help wrap and organize gifts for the kids and assemble holiday meal baskets for Club members and their families.
“There is nothing like the joy of a child receiving a special gift during the holidays, and we are honored to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego in bringing that magic alive,” said North Island Credit Union President/CEO Steve O’Connell. “We want to thank all of our members and our credit union team for so enthusiastically participating in our toy drive to spread the spirit of giving and community during this holiday season.”
All of the toys and gifts were donated by North Island Credit Union, its employees and members in a month-long drive in all of its 11 branch locations in San Diego County. All gifts will be wrapped and distributed during the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego holiday celebrations throughout the month.
