LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. — Peach State Federal Credit Union has wrapped up its annual toy drive benefiting the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. The credit union collects new, unwrapped toys from members and employees at branch locations across its service area.
The drive came as many families in Georgia and South Carolina continue to face increased financial pressure. Even so, Peach State officials said participation remained strong, reflecting a continued commitment to helping others during the holiday season.
“We believe in coming together when it matters most,” said Ryan Hawk, executive director of business development and community outreach and president of the Peach State FCU C.A.R.E.S. Foundation. “Through this annual initiative, people are prioritizing others even as they face economic uncertainty. It truly reflects our goal of giving back, especially in times of greatest need.”
Community support is a core part of the credit union’s mission. Through its philanthropic arm, the Peach State FCU C.A.R.E.S. Foundation, members and donors work together to support local nonprofits, school systems, and arts organizations through donations, volunteer service, and material contributions.
By the end of the third quarter, the foundation had donated more than $670,000 to organizations across Peach State’s Georgia and South Carolina service area.
