WHEN THE COMMUNITY COMES TOGETHER, WE CAN DO SOME GOOD

The GECU Foundation recently donated $15,000 to Rebuilding Together — a nonprofit organization that repairs homes, revitalizes communities and rebuilds lives — to help people in our own community. The organization works to bring lasting change to the El Paso community by providing older adults, people with disabilities, and veterans with necessary improvements and safety enhancements in their homes. We are proud to support our partners and other nonprofit organizations in the community to elevate El Paso.

22 volunteers made up of GECU employees and community members helped paint one of the 91 homes that Rebuilding Together supported in their 2020 fiscal year. They were there for six hours to put the finishing touches to preserve the condition of a home and to support the mental and spiritual well-being of the homeowner. We are so proud of our volunteers and thank them for showing the community what the people helping people philosophy can really do for everyone.
