employees display the total donation sent to the Haiti Relief and
Development effort.
After the devastating earthquake rocked the Port-au-Prince region of Haiti, CPCU Credit Union quickly put together an effort to collect money for those affected. CPCU placed signage in both their Somerville and Cambridge branch coin counting machines encouraging members to donate 10% or more of their exchange to the America Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development effort. Canisters were also available at the teller windows for those who wished to donate but were not using the coin machine. “Our coin machines are used multiple times a day and are very visible in the branches. Putting together an effort around the coin machines was the perfect way to collect money in such a needy time for those affected by the earthquake in Haiti.” commented Rui Domingos, CPCU CEO. CPCU matched the total collection up to January 30th.
In just two weeks, CPCU collected $5,359.40 in conjunction with their membership to donate to the America Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development effort. CPCU serves a large Haitian community and also has a Haitian employee. “Some of our members are of Haitian descent and we wanted to show our support during this difficult time. I also want to thank the members who made this possible.” commented Domingos. CPCU continues to make an effort to collect money for the American Red Cross at both their branches.
