Redwood Credit Union Employees Pack 4,000 Care Bags for Local Foster Youth During Day of Impact

On Monday, while most financial institutions observed Columbus Day, Santa Rosa-based Redwood Credit Union continued its tradition of dedicating the day to making meaningful change through its Day of Impact.

This year, RCU partnered with Foster Love, a Brea-based nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children in foster care.

With that in mind, about 1,000 RCU employees spent the day at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa assembling nearly 4,000 care bags and birthday boxes – enough for every foster youth in San Francisco and the North Bay counties RCU serves.

“We are passionate about advancing meaningful and sustainable change to ensure current and future generations are strong, resilient, and continue to thrive,” said Brett Martinez, president and CEO of Redwood Credit Union. “This event brings our team together in a shared purpose, connecting each person to something bigger than themselves.”
