Interior Savings is gearing up for its annual Day of Difference.
The big event will be held this Thursday (Oct. 21), and it will feature more than 400 Interior Savings employees fanning out across their communities to volunteer and surprise people with almost $10,000 in gifts, random acts of kindness and cheques for local non-profits.
“It’s a day when credit unions around the globe celebrate the history and achievements of the credit union movement and all those who have been a part of it,” Interior Savings’ CEO Kathy Conway said in a press release. “As a co-operative, we believe we can make the greatest difference in people’s lives by working together, and this is one way to say thanks to our members and to the many non-profit partners who are helping to make our community strong.”
Thursday is International Credit Union Day, and it will kick off with a breakfast for employees and locally made gifts for members. Most branches will then close at 2 p.m. to allow its employees to spread their goodwill—and cash. Employees will be cleaning up streets and streams, and helping groups like Mamas for Mamas, Helens Acres, Kelowna Hospice, Clubhouse Farms and Silver Lake Forestry Camp with fall property clean up.
They will also be popping up here and there with gifts and random acts of kindness. Donations will be made to the Food Bank, CMHA, Foundry, BC Children’s Hospital and Paws it Forward.
