and even selling hugs for kids in the
branches, staff went all out tosupport this project,” said GaryJewitt, vice-chair of the board of the

been a key annual focus for
Heartland Credit Union for the past
five years and we are proud to play a

brighter, healthier tomorrow for
thousands of children in our

efforts.
