Town & Country Credit Union proudly joined credit unions nationwide in celebrating CU Kind Day on October 12, a special day dedicated to spreading kindness and making a difference through acts of service. With branches closed in observance of a federal holiday, 132 employees from across the organization volunteered their time in the Minot and Fargo communities, contributing an impressive total of 198 hours in just one day.

The Town & Country team partnered with 15 local nonprofit organizations, supporting causes ranging from food security and youth programming to animal welfare and community enrichment. In Fargo, volunteers lent their time to Hope Blooms, Fargo Parks and Recreation, United Way of Cass Clay, Fraser, and SENDCAA. Meanwhile, in Minot, staff supported Roosevelt Park Zoo, Dakota Hope Clinic, Souris Valley United Way, CASO, Youthworks, Salvation Army, Matthew 25, Souris Valley Animal Shelter, Minot Public Schools Foundation, and Hairball Haven.

“Our employees exemplified the credit union philosophy of ‘people helping people,’” said Kalli Schell, CEO/President of Town & Country Credit Union. “CU Kind Day gave us the chance to live out our mission in a meaningful way, by supporting the incredible organizations that serve our communities every day.”

In addition to volunteer work, employees also participated in training and professional development activities, making full use of the time while branches were closed. The event highlighted the heart of the credit union difference, putting people and community first.
