Allied FCU Staff and Members Donate $250, Supplies to Local Animal Shelters

April 26, 2022


Arlington/Mansfield, TX - Allied Federal Credit Union employees donated $250 through their Casual for a Cause program, and employees and members donated pet supplies to City of Arlington Animal Services and City of Mansfield Animal Care and Control for Animal Care and Control appreciation week. Both shelters improve the lives of animals by providing humane care and placing them in good homes.

 

Casual for a Cause is a monthly initiative which supports a different local cause each month. Employees pay to dress casually at work, and the money raised gets donated to the cause of the month. That cause is selected by an employee-based committee. They selected animal care services in recognition of National Animal Care and Control Appreciation Week.

“We are animal lovers at Allied FCU, and the  thought of innocent animals being uncared for in our communities is heartbreaking," said Sarah Ramos, Allied Credit Union's AVP of  Experience. “Animal shelters help prevent animal cruelty, keep helpless animals off our city streets and provide animals with the basic necessities we humans sometimes take for granted, like food, water and shelter.”
