BATTLE CREEK, Mich., November 30, 2009 –  OMNI Community Credit Union has participated in Operation Christmas Child for the third consecutive year.  Operation Christmas Child is a program that collects shoeboxes filled with small toys, school supplies, hygiene items, etc. These boxes are then distributed to 100 different countries around the world.  OMNI sent 27 boxes this year, exceeding their goal of 20.

“Many children don’t get to experience opening a gift.  Holidays are just any other day to them.  It’s great to be able to fill these boxes and know that we are helping to make some child’s day a little brighter,” said OMNI team member, Courtney Armour.



OMNI Community Credit Union has over 33,000 members across SW Michigan with $230 million in assets.  For two consecutive years, OMNI has given a Cashback Rebate of more than $1.4 million dollars to say thank you to members.  The credit union continually reinvests in its membership and the communities they serve with new branches, some of the area’s best interest rates on loans and savings accounts, no fee checking, low fees, over 28,000 free ATMs, OMNI scholarships and is involved in over 40 community events annually.  Anyone in Southwest Michigan can bank with OMNI.  To find out how you can join, call 866-OMNI-WOW or visit www.omnicommunitycu.org.
