Hundreds of children and older adults in the Chattanooga area had a happier Christmas thanks to the Tennessee Valley Federal Credit Union’s support this year.
TVFCU employees and members fulfilled nearly 300 wish lists from the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program, helping bring joy to children and seniors in need across our community.
Participants chose an “Angel Tag” from trees in more than a dozen TVFCU locations, then bought gifts matching the wish list on the tag.
The credit union, with the help of its porcupine mascot, Mr. P, collected the gifts and delivered them to the Salvation Army warehouse.
More than $13,000 raised at TVFCU’s annual food auction also went toward holiday shopping.
“This year we had an amazing level of engagement — by far the biggest response we have ever seen,” employee Nick Townsend said. “There is no gift that is too small as we never know the impact these gifts will have on someone’s life.”
