WEST CHESTER â For the staff of Benchmark Federal Credit Union, the season of giving doesnât mean âgiving upâ during COVID-19. It means continuing to give to the local community.
Even though many of Benchmark FCUâs staff worked from home this year in âCOVID casual,â they kept up the 10-year tradition of making an annual donation for the privilege of wearing jeans to work each Friday. Benchmark staff collected $2,000 to donate to Jennifer Lopez, the executive director of Friends Association in West Chester.
Friends Association provides emergency shelter and prevention services for families facing homelessness or housing instability in Chester County.
