REGIONAL FCU Makes a World of Difference in Region Through Random Acts of Kindness

A simple act of kindness can make a world of difference in someone’s life. It has the power to transform us, give us hope when we need it the most, and remind us that there is someone out there who truly cares.

REGIONAL Federal Credit Union (FCU) has always made an effort to show they care about their community, whether that be in the forms of volunteerism, scholarships, or sponsorships that make a difference in the lives of other people and places in the Northwest Indiana community.

Last week was no different for REGIONAL when it comes to caring for the community. But how they decided to show it this time was.

“This past week, REGIONAL decided to give back to our community through random acts of kindness,” explained Kevin Kosek, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for REGIONAL. “Our REGIONAL team members chose ten places we wanted to give back to throughout Lake and Porter County and we got the team involved in getting out there and presenting donations to these places.”

From gift cards to random shoppers at Wal-Mart, to filling up gas tanks at Family Express, REGIONAL team members spent the week making differences in the lives of others; even our four-legged neighbors throughout The Region.

RAK-2“We provided the Porter County Animal Shelter with everything on their wish list,” said Kosek. “And we gave Lakeshore PAWS toys, peanut butter, and a ton of hugs!”

And for REGIONAL team members, the week was not only about making a difference in the community, said Kosek, but also about showing the team just how much of a difference REGIONAL makes by giving back to Northwest Indiana.

“We have gotten a lot of stories from strangers that we helped telling us just how much this generosity has meant to them, and it feels really good.”
