adminFive Star CU makes National Championship donation

With 15 branches between the two states, Five Star asked employees to donate to the Salvation Army in each state. By the time the game ended, Five Star had collected $1,250 for the Salvation Army in Brunswick, GA, and Dothan, AL.
A $650 check was presented to the Brunswick Salvation Army while the Dothan Salvation Army received a $600 check. Five Star Credit Union, headquartered in Dothan, AL, regularly holds employee fundraisers to donate back to the 18 counties it serves.
