eCO Credit Union holds fundraiser for Children’s Miracle Network
In October, eCO Credit Union wrapped up its Change for Children’s fundraiser to benefit Children’s Miracle Network. The credit union encouraged members and others to stop by a branch and give to help children and families in need.
To provide the best care for kids, children’s hospitals rely on donations and community support, as Medicaid and insurance programs do not fully cover the cost of care.
