BHFCU Gives Back - December 2024

At BHFCU, our commitment to improving lives in the communities we serve is as strong as ever. Learn more about the positive things our team accomplished in December.

 

Helping at the Holidays
Our staff-led charitable giving program, the Community Action Team (CAT), focuses on supporting organizations that share common goals each month. In December, we centered our efforts on fundraising for organizations supporting those in need during the holidays. Check out what we accomplished!

 

Who We Supported
This month, we supported the Black Hills Salvation Army Angel Tree Toy Drive, Sioux Falls Cares, and Meals on Wheels Western South Dakota. BHFCU staff and members raised $5,150 for the organizations on top of the 243 gifts they supported!

 

Bringing Christmas Cheer to Kids
From Sioux Falls to the Black Hills, we wanted to ensure kids had the best Christmas possible. Our Sioux Falls team partnered with Sioux Falls Cares to deliver five families’ worth of gifts. Altogether, they donated 12 hours of their time. An additional $1,000 was raised by staff and donated to the organization.

In the Black Hills, employees and members teamed up to fulfill 243 Angel Tree wishes (that’s 62 more than last year!) worth $3,100 for the Salvation Army. An additional $500 was raised by staff to purchase more gifts for the thousands of kids in need this Christmas.

 

Helping Feed Elderly South Dakotans
We participated in the Gingerbread Man Program put on by Meals on Wheels Western South Dakota. Staff and members raised $2,278 to help feed elderly seniors in our communities. An additional $757 was raised by staff and donated to the organization.
