Counting Pennies for a Cause
A year of waiting on spare change was well worth the wait for eleven county nursing care and assisted living facilities.
NorState Federal Credit Union is donating fees collected from the use of their coin counters in Madawaska, Presque Isle and Fort Kent locations to local nursing care and assisted living facilities for their activities departments and the residents they serve.
The week of January 25, 2021 is National Activity Professionals Week.
In honor of the activity professionals at nursing homes or assisted living facilities, who through their efforts in improving and enriching the daily lives of patients and residents, NorState Federal Credit Union has taken this opportunity to promote their theme of this year’s recognition “Activity Professionals Brighten Each Day” and send each facility a thank you card, and a NorState Visa Gift Card in the amount of $462.
