Houston area credit unions join forces this year, collecting over 800 toys for the KHOU Channel 11 “Spirit of Texas Toy Drive” benefiting the Salvation Army. Toys were donated by employees, members, family, and friends at credit union branch locations throughout the Greater Houston Area.
“Teaming up with the KHOU Channel 11 Spirit of Texas Toy Drive for such a worthy cause really benefits our community and can make a huge difference in a child’s holiday”, said Valarie Brittain, Vice President of Human Resources at Cy-Fair Federal Credit Union and Community Involvement Chairperson for Houston Chapter of Credit Unions. The toy drive is one of many efforts that the Chapter participate in to support the Community and enhance the quality of life in the Greater Houston Area.
