The YWCA Greater Lafayette provides vital programs for the local community and on Tuesday, September 29, PEFCU executives and managers gave back to the worthy organization by contributing 100 hours of service (25 staff for four hours).

"In order to motivate others, you must first become a source of motivation yourself," said Shannon White, YWCA Greater Lafayette executive director. "It is wonderful to see the example that the PEFCU management team is providing for the PEFCU staff and our community. What they accomplished in a few short hours would have taken us a lot of time and money to complete without them. Our gymnasium and hallways look terrific!"

PEFCU received donated paint from Mr. Joe Camp of PPG Porter Paint in Lafayette. With it, they planned to paint the YWCA gymnasium. They worked so efficiently they were able to not only paint the gymnasium, but they also painted benches and several hallways.

"I am privileged to work with such a generous group of people," said Bob Falk, PEFCU president and chief executive officer. "Since opening our doors in 1969, PEFCU and its employees have been driven by the credit union philosophy of 'people helping people.' Giving back to the community through volunteer and financial support is just one way our organization and its employees embody that philosophy."

Giving back to the community is one way PEFCU stays involved locally and thanks area non-profit organizations for making such a difference in Greater Lafayette. PEFCU is proud to support many fine organizations and projects. For more information, click "About PEFCU" in the menu above then "Community Commitment."
