- Joseph Newberry, president and CEO of Redstone Federal Credit Union, helps a young member deposit his letter to Santa as Lee Marshall, founder and CEO of Kids to Love, looks on.
Redstone Federal Credit Union is working to make the lives of children in foster care a little brighter this Christmas season with help from its members and friends, according to a press release.
From now through Christmas Eve, children can drop off their letters to Santa at any RFCU branch. For every letter received, RFCU will donate $1 to the Kids to Love Foundation.
Kids to Love is a non-profit organization that helps find permanent homes for foster children and provides for their immediate needs.
“We appreciate Redstone Federal Credit Union’s continued support of Kids to Love initiatives,” said Lee Marshall, founder and CEO of Kids to Love. “Our Christmas for the Kids drive will fulfill Christmas wishes for more than 1,100 foster children in three states, and we couldn’t do it without our generous business community.”
Inside each branch will be a brightly colored mailbox and a paper and pencil for children who want to write their letter at the branch. Information on how letters can be emailed is available at redfcu.org/Santa.
“Kids to Love touches children in foster care and those transitioning out,’’ said Joe Newberry, RFCU president and CEO. “The foundation provides school supplies, college scholarships and career training and makes certain these children and young people are not forgotten. Christmas is a great time to lift up these wonderful children.’’
