Jim Martinez, President of Hoosick Federal Credit Union, presented a donation to Isabel McGuire and Mary Donohue of the Hoosick Falls Central School Honor Society last week. When asked why a donation is being made to the Honor Society Martinez responded, “Other than the fact that the economy is down and need is up this year, the Christmas Wish Program and Hoosick Federal Credit Union share a primary purpose – to help those in the community. It’s an honor and a pleasure to be able to help such a worthy cause.”
In 2008, the Credit Union has given back to the communities it serves by making donations and sponsorship gifts to more than 30 local organizations. The merger with Falls Federal Credit Union strengthened the Credit Union and enabled it to grow stronger. Martinez also said, “The more we grow╔the more we can give back to the communities we serve.”
