HFS Federal Credit Union Raises $28,700 for HOPE Services Hawai’i

Across the Hawaiian Islands, people of all ages and walks of life are experiencing homelessness and the number of those in need of housing continues to rapidly increase.
 
HOPE Services Hawai’i plays a very important role in leading the way to end homelessness on our island and HFS Federal Credit Union has gladly provided support. Throughout the month of October, monetary donations were collected at six branches island wide. “With the assistance and generosity of our members, staff, and individuals from the community, we were able to raise more than $28,000 to support their critical programs and services. We are incredibly humbled and grateful for everyone’s contributions toward the success of this fundraising campaign.”

The Credit Union was also one of the sponsors for the HOPE Services Sacred Heart Affordable Housing Project units, which is dedicated to housing kupuna in our community.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with HOPE Services Hawai’i in assisting with the Sacred Heart Affordable Housing Project. Our talented and creative team was able to turn a unit into a beautiful home for a kupuna that will be enjoyed for years to come. We are honored to have played a small part in this very important senior housing development.” Nathan N. Abe, President-CEO, HFS Federal Credit Union.

A check in the amount of $28,700 was presented to HOPE Services Hawai’i’s CEO Brandee Menino at the recent grand opening of the housing project.
 
“We are immensely grateful to HFS FCU for their generous support in our first affordable housing development project. Their dedication to the community and commitment to creating a safe and comfortable environment for those in need is truly commendable. Together, we are making a positive impact on the lives of our kūpuna, providing them with the dignity and comfort they deserve. We couldn’t have done it without HFS FCU’s invaluable partnership. Thank you for your unwavering support and generosity.” – Brandee Menino, Chief Executive Officer, HOPE Services Hawai’i, Inc.
