“We began our annual Day of Service in 2019 to provide our credit union with an opportunity to give back to our communities and be truly hands-on in our mission of people helping people,” said David Brehmer, Vizo Financial’s president and CEO. “Year after year, no matter which organizations we work with or what our volunteer efforts look like, the experience never disappoints and always proves to us just how rooted our movement is in the everyday lives of the people we serve.”
“After a few years of pandemic restrictions, we were finally able to welcome family members and friends back to our Day of Service event, which really contributed to the overall feeling of joining together for the greater good,” said Erin Doan, diversity, equity and inclusion director for Vizo Financial. “With extra hands on deck this year, we were able to share more of the love and bring a greater sense of concern for community to some extraordinary charities and organizations.”
