McCoy Federal Credit Union sponsors Lancaster Elementary School students for Christmas
For many years, McCoy Federal Credit Union has partnered with Lancaster Elementary to make sure children in need have a Christmas. This year, McCoy Federal Credit Union and its employees sponsored 76 children. Through this partnership, McCoy Federal employees sponsor a child or multiple children and provide gifts of clothing, toys, books, and more.
For many children, these are the only gifts they wake up to on Christmas morning. Additional monetary help is provided by McCoy Federal business partners that allow the help to extend to more children.
“McCoy Federal Credit Union is honored to continue our partnership with Lancaster Elementary and support children in need this Christmas,” said Alvin Cowans, president and CEO of McCoy Federal Credit Union. “I’m proud that our employees and business partners give so generously to make the lives of the children in our community better.”
