Jesup, GA (April 18, 2022) – Once again, Altamaha Federal Credit Union has spearheaded a joint donation to support a local need. Altamaha joined forces with Interstate Credit Union and Marshland Credit Union to collectively donate $7,500 to The Hanger for start-up costs to provide no-cost new clothes to area students in need. Founded by CEO Hannah Grant, The Hanger currently operates in Ware, Pierce, and Brantley counties and provides donated new clothing from area clothing retailers free of charge to local youth in need in the discreet setting of a mobile store, in which the youth may try on and select items of their choice.
Said Cheryl Spires, President/CEO of Altamaha Federal Credit Union, “There are many opportunities to serve Wayne Countians, but we found the service provided by The Hanger to fill an unmet need, and we felt led to see them meet their immediate need of securing a trailer to house the mobile clothing unit here, so they could begin services here quickly.” Stacie Branch, President/CEO of Interstate Credit Union added, “We are excited to support The Hanger and their mission of empowering the underprivileged youth of our communities by providing confidence, character, and peer inclusion. Their mission is accomplished by providing NEW clothing, accessories, and basic necessities to students who cannot afford them, in a discreet setting. We feel supporting this organization is completely in line with our philosophy of ‘People helping People.’” Mary Jenrette of Marshland Credit Union agreed by stating, “Marshland Credit Union is honored to support The Hanger, along with Altamaha Federal Credit Union and Interstate Credit Union. We share the common bond of supporting the needs of the communities we serve.”
