DENVER–Public Service Credit Union here said it worked to spread kindness during the holidays with its “12 days of giving.” Employees raised money throughout the year so on 12 days during the holiday season teams could go out and do good for their community.
Each team had $1,000 to donate and could be as creative as they wanted to do good, PSCU said.
