Christian Community Credit Union staff assembles gift-filled shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. In all, the staff donated 147 shoeboxes.
Christian Community Credit Union's staff participated in Operation Christmas Child, a program that brings joy, hope and God's love to boys and girls around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas — Jesus Christ. In all, the staff from both Covina and San Dimas Branches donated 147 shoeboxes filled with toys, school supplies, hygiene items, clothing and more.
The Operation Christmas Child campaign happened in November 12-16, 2007.
To make it easy for the staff to participate and create an early holiday spirit of giving, Christian Community Credit Union set up a wrapping station with a Christmas ambiance. While some staff donated individually, others participated as a department and made it a team project.
"I'd heard about Operation Christmas Child for years and this time I wanted to get personally involved," said Marji Petsch, Christian Community Credit Union's
VP Chief Information Officer and Coordinator of Operation Christmas Child
at the Credit Union. "We thought it would be a great way to involve our staff.
They embraced Operation Christmas Child and made it a big success!"
This was the first time for the staff of Christian Community Credit Union to join Operation Christmas Child. In previous years, the staff conducted a Christmas toy drive for local rescue mission organizations and social service centers.
With assets over $440 million, Christian Community Credit Union serves over 29,000 members nationwide and has served as a financial partner of Christian churches, ministries and their members for over 50 years.
