READING, Penn.–Volunteers from Diamond Credit Union supported Berks Encore at the Birdsboro Senior Community Center. As their United Way Day of Caring project, volunteers planned a birthday bash for the center’s regular visitors, some of whom may not have had the luxury of a birthday party this year. No matter when their actual birthday is, seniors were invited to come celebrate with games, activities, and of course cake, the credit union reported.
“We’re so thankful for the opportunity to get out into the community and help our local United Way organizations. The culture at Diamond CU promotes volunteerism and community involvement and the Day of Caring is a great compliment to that. We always have more people who want to volunteer than we can accommodate, which is a fantastic problem to have,” stated the leader of the event, Monica McCoach, Diamond Credit Union Human Resources Associate.
Diamond Credit Union said it is a huge supporter of the United Way of Berks County and the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey. In addition to participating in the Day of Caring, Diamond recently donated back-to-school supplies to two other United Way organizations, and the entire staff is gearing up for their 16th consecutive year of 100% employee participation in their 2016 United Way pledge drive.
Separately, for the second consecutive year, Diamond Credit Union took home top honors in all of the financial categories of the Reading Eagle Newspaper Readers Choice Awards. Diamond was voted the readers choice in credit unions, financial planning, and banks. Diamond also garnered the most votes overall of any business in any category. Voting took place through online and paper ballots from July 10 through July 31, 2016.
“Thank you to all of our members who voted for Diamond. We see this as a strong indication that we are providing you with the absolute best service and products that fit every phase of life. Thank you for telling us we’re doing a good job. We promise to keep it up,” stated John Faust, President/CEO of Diamond Credit Union.
