Freedom Credit Union Announces Campaign to Benefit Griffin’s Friends

SPRINGFIELD — Freedom Credit Union announced that its April Month of Giving campaign will benefit Griffin’s Friends, a local nonprofit that supports children with cancer and their families.

Donations will be collected at all Freedom Credit Union branch locations throughout April. Community members are invited to stop in and contribute, with all funds directly supporting Griffin’s Friends and its programs.

“Supporting organizations like Griffin’s Friends is an important part of who we are,” said Glenn Welch, president of Freedom Credit Union. “We encourage anyone in the community to visit a branch and help make a difference for local families.”

Griffin’s Friends provides experiences and services that bring comfort and support during treatment. These include holiday parties, outings, and summer events as well as massage therapy to promote relaxation. The organization also supplies Baystate Children’s Hospital and its outpatient Oncology and Hematology Clinic with toys, crafts, and other recreational resources, and funds a program coordinator dedicated to enhancing patient activities.
