GLENDALE, Ariz.–Credit Union West employees have donated $5,742.34 to Arizona Small Dog Rescue, a nonprofit, no-kill dog rescue shelter in Phoenix.
“When a dog comes into our care, we not only spay and neuter, but we also perform vaccinations, medical exams, microchipping, and find foster homes, when needed, to ensure they are in loving care while waiting for a forever family,” said Paula Joseph, executive director at AZSDR. “This amazing donation is greatly appreciated and will save a lot of dogs’ lives.”
To help continue their important work, Credit Union West leaders presented Arizona Small Dog Rescue with the donation check at their corporate office in Glendale.
The donation was made possible by the EmployeesCARE Program, which is completely funded by Credit Union West employees. The program raises money for a nonprofit organization selected by employees each quarter.
In addition, President and CEO, Karen Roch, challenged Credit Union West employees to increase donations by matching the donation with her own personal funds.
“I am so proud of our employees for raising so much money for local nonprofits in 2023,” said Roch. “We have a lot of dog people at Credit Union West, so it’s wonderful to support smaller, no-kill shelters like Arizona Small Dog Rescue.”
The donation was the fourth and final charitable donation that Credit Union West employees made through the EmployeesCARE Program in 2023. In total, Credit Union West employees donated $24,362.13 to local nonprofit organizations for the year.
