OMNI Community Credit Union, headquartered in Battle Creek, Mich., recently collected over 250 sweaters and coats to help keep West Michigan warm this winter. The sweaters and coats went to the following charities that will disperse them throughout the local communities: The Charitable Union, the Kalamazoo Salvation Army, Three Rivers Area Mentoring, and the St. Joseph County Homeless Shelter.



“The sweater and coat drives are just another way we give back to the communities that have supported us for so long” said Ted Parson, Chief Executive Officer, OMNI Community Credit Union.
