Each wish come true has the power to make kids feel stronger, more courageous and more determined to overcome their illnesses. All the money raised stays right in the communities One CU serves in Vermont and New Hampshire. “We believe one moment can change everything in the life of a child. We are so grateful One Credit Union believes that as well,” stated a grateful Hathaway.
"Our members understand the challenges these kids in our communities face,” said Smith. “To quote Helen Keller, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” One CU matched Member contributions dollar for dollar. “Our tagline is Together, we are One. And it is days like today that brings life to those words. As One, we are making a difference!”
