Credit Union saves Christmas for needy family
Bay Ridge workers donate money to buy presents
A group of Bensonhurst workers showed the true spirit of the holidays when they took up a collection to buy presents for a local family who could not afford to celebrate.
Led by Executive Vice President Anthony Grigos and Vice President Comptroller Tina Conte, employees of the Bay Ridge Federal Credit Union decided to forgo the traditional Kris Kringle exchange of presents in their office and instead donated money to help a family in need.
As a result, the family, which is under the care of HeartShare St. Vincent’s Services (HSVS), was able to enjoy the Christmas holidays. HeartShare St. Vincent’s Services is a program sponsored by the nonprofit agency HeartShare Human Services of New York.
