ValleyStar Credit Union reinforces its commitment to community engagement through various initiatives aimed at supporting local residents and disaster relief efforts.
MARTINSVILLE, Va., Nov. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ValleyStar Credit Union is demonstrating its unwavering commitment to community engagement through impactful events aimed at supporting local residents and those affected by recent disasters.
On September 27, ValleyStar had to cancel one of its two annual all-employee appreciation events due to inclement weather. Rather than let the opportunity go to waste, the credit union chose to "pay it forward" by collaborating with Jerry's Pizza Pasta & Grill in Martinsville, VA. ValleyStar maintained its food order and encouraged the restaurant to create a tab for community members to take advantage of a free meal courtesy of the credit union. "ValleyStar Credit Union recently paid it forward to the community at Jerry's, showing their commitment to supporting local businesses and fostering a sense of community," said Travis Pruitt, Captain of Ridgeway District Volunteer Rescue Squad. "By engaging in this act of kindness, ValleyStar reinforces its dedication to giving back and making a positive impact on the lives of those they serve."
Additionally, ValleyStar partnered with the Henry County Sheriff's Office to collect supplies for hurricane relief efforts in Western North Carolina. On October 3, ValleyStar employees and deputies from the sheriff's office joined forces at the Martinsville Walmart to purchase essential supplies for those impacted by the storms. Together, they loaded a trailer with items that were sent to support the communities in need, delivered by Sheriff Wayne Davis and his staff to Buncombe County, North Carolina.
In a separate initiative, ValleyStar Credit Union has partnered with God's Pit Crew to collect essential supplies for those affected by the recent storms in Virginia, North Carolina, and other southern states. With another life-threatening storm making landfall, the need for resources continues to grow. ValleyStar is inviting everyone to drop off requested supplies for Blessing Buckets and Children's Play Pails at any branch location until November 1. At the conclusion of the supply drive, ValleyStar will present the collected donations, along with a monetary contribution, to God's Pit Crew.
These events underscore ValleyStar's commitment to community service and highlight the organization's focus on creating meaningful connections. "As a community-focused organization, we believe in the importance of coming together to support one another in times of need," said Mike Warrell, ValleyStar Credit Union CEO. "Whether it's supporting local businesses or aiding those affected by natural disasters, we strive to make a positive difference."
ValleyStar Credit Union remains dedicated to its mission of fostering community well-being and looks forward to continuing its outreach efforts in the future. For more information about ValleyStar Credit Union and its initiatives, please visit www.valleystar.org.
