“Working in partnership with
service agencies like OLHSA gives Genisys an opportunity to support our
community neighbors,” said Jackie Buchanan, President & CEO of Genisys
Credit Union. “A big thank you to our employees, members, friends and family
for the dedication and enthusiasm they have towards our fundraising campaign to
benefit OLHSA’s Walk for Warmth. This would not be possible without your
support.”
During the year, Genisys staff hosts a variety of fundraisers throughout the
credit union’s Oakland County branches and their Corporate Office to raise
funds to donate to Walk for Warmth.
"Walk donations reduce energy and housing burdens for local families and
provide connections to Community Action programs such as early education,
employment coaching, weatherization of homes, and older adult services that
support family economic success," said Dr. Susan Harding, OLHSA CEO.
"The collaborative efforts between OLHSA and Genisys Credit Union played a
pivotal role in empowering vulnerable communities and addressing energy-related
challenges. The funds raised through the Walk for Warmth initiative made a
tangible difference in the lives of over 250 people throughout Oakland County
in the past year. Notably, 74% of those who received assistance from Walk for
Warmth were children, older adults, people with disabilities, and veterans –
underscoring the positive impact on the most vulnerable members of our
society," added Dr. Harding.
Walk for Warmth is an annual community event that brings together individuals,
families, businesses, and community organizations to help vulnerable households
by raising funds to provide assistance for heating expenses during the winter
months.
