The North Shore Federal Credit Union Giving Tree was a huge success, with community members demonstrating tremendous generosity toward others less fortunate. “We had 88 tags with gift requests for children, and the community came together and donated gifts for all tags plus more!” said Kari Merritt of the Credit Union. “We had six tags left on the tree December 11, which was the last day to submit the gifts, and we had some very generous people who came in and took the last of the tags. We had many members take multiple tags, some donating as many as six to fifteen gifts! We have an amazing community that really comes together to help families in need… What an amazing community we live in.” (L-R): Kari Merritt, Colette Mueller, Samantha LaBoda, and Rosanne Gilmore.
