December 21, 2015 – Pittsfield, MA – Greylock Federal Credit Union announced the recipients of donations from its “Spirit of Giving” campaign. The donations resulted from fourteen department/teams within the Credit Union choosing worthy organizations or causes, to which Greylock donated $1,000 each. Additionally, Greylock gave each of the chosen organizations a $250 gift card from a local grocery store, to “pay forward” to a charity, or worthy cause of their choice.
Greylock’s Victoria May, Assistant Vice President, Manager Marketing Promotions and Partnerships said, “The ‘Spirit of Giving’ campaign was conceived, not only as a way for Greylock to give to worthy causes, but also to help others experience the best gift of all – the gift of giving back.”
