At GMFCU, we actively encourage our team to volunteer to give back to our community. Check out some of the most recent community events we’ve been involved in.
A Simple Gesture Food Giveaway and Community Workday, February 2022 & Ongoing
A Simple Gesture’s mission is to help end childhood hunger in Guilford County by making it easy to donate food to community organizations!
We held a food drive in our branches in February 2022 and collected 150 lbs of food from members and staff. Many thanks to everyone who donated!
We also participated in a community workday in conjunction with A Simple Gesture’s monthly donation drop off. Three team members helped process over 1,600 lbs of food for Guilford County families. We are planning to continue this partnership with monthly workdays!
NeighborWoods Community Tree Planting, Lake Daniel Park Greenway
NeighborWoods is an initiative of Greensboro Beautiful that provides an opportunity to plant native trees in our communities. In November 2021, GMFCU volunteers planted fig trees to help repopulate the urban orchard. This is our second year participating in NeighborWoods!
