At Affinity, our mission is to Build Better Lives for our members and communities. Building Better Holidays was created with our mission statement in mind, supporting local organizations that are helping to Build Better Lives as well.
Our goal is to spread holiday cheer by giving local charities in need a little extra sparkle this holiday season.
The charity selected to receive $10,000 from Affinity Credit Union:
UnityPoint Health – Des Moines Compassion Funds!
UnityPoint – Des Moines Compassion Fund
Health care is complex, but caring for patients is not.
The Compassion Fund allows front-line social workers to identify needs and distribute funds immediately, providing much-needed relief for families.
Helping with the Unexpected
The Compassion Fund Helps cover the “little things” not covered by insurance. Things like:
- A gas card for frequent travel to appointments.
- Meals for a caregiver who spends weeks at the hospital.
- Payment for immediate bills such as phone, heat, and electricity.
- Equipment needed to live independently at home.
- One-time medications.
