CU Kind is a movement with the
Michigan Credit Union League to showcase the credit union difference by giving
back to our members, communities, and beyond through harnessing the collective
power of kindness to create a positive change.
“By taking care of our community spaces, we are ensuring the safe keeping of
our local ecosystems so that future generations can enjoy the shared beauty of
nature as we do today,” said Jackie Buchanan, President and CEO of Genisys
Credit Union.
Over 145 Genisys employees, family and friends banded together to clean-up
trash and debris at various park locations across their communities in Michigan
and Minnesota. The credit union extends a thank you to their community
partners who helped coordinate the clean up efforts: Clinton River Watershed
Council, City of Pontiac, City of Utica, Waterford Township, and Orion
Township; City of Clio, Van Buren Township, City of Vassar, City of Fenton,
City of Grand Blanc, City of Marysville, and City of Lakeville, MN.
The effort resulted in removing about 500 pounds of debris, trash, and more
from the parks and waterways. Highlights include: weeding, clearing branches,
and removing overgrown shrubs at the skatepark in Oakland Park in Pontiac;
using waders to remove glass from the Clinton River at Heritage Park in Utica;
and cleaning up downed tree limbs, weeding, and bagging leaves at Hillside
Cemetery in Belleville.
Several of the parks were cleaned in partnership with the Clinton River
Watershed Council as part of their “Clinton Clean-Up.” This annual initiative
aims to improve the health of the watershed through trash cleanups that promote
preservation.
