Community is at the core of how Heartland Credit Union works. Each year, Heartland Makes a Difference gives our team a chance to show it, and this year, almost 150 team members spent the day working alongside local organizations in the places we live and serve.
The weather was close to perfect. Teams spread out across 16 community projects, including one in North Carolina. The work was hands-on: sorting and organizing, painting, deep cleaning, cooking and delivering meals, and plenty of yard work.
At YMCA Camp Hiawatha in Wichita, “Fourteen hard workers, a whole lot of staining and sealing, sand stamping, hedge trimming, raking, and more flattened boxes than we’d ever want to count made for an amazing day at Camp Hiawatha,” said team captain Amy Tennison, Business Relationship Manager.
It was hard work, great teamwork, lots of fun, and the perfect example of community is at our core.
