Members Advantage Credit Union (MACU) proudly donated $5,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of LaPorte County to support their efforts to serve the community's youth. The donation will help fund vital programming and the development of their much-anticipated new facility in Michigan City.

During the check presentation, Michelle Shirk, CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of LaPorte County, expressed gratitude for the contribution and emphasized its significance. "This generous donation from Members Advantage Credit Union directly supports our mission to provide kids in our community with safe, enriching places to go when school is not in session. Their gift will help us make our vision of a new standalone Clubhouse a reality and ensure we are able to provide even more opportunities for local youth to thrive."

The Boys & Girls Clubs of LaPorte County has been a pillar of the community, providing after-school and summer programs that foster academic success, character development, and healthy lifestyles. After several years of expansion, they now operate 10 different Clubs across Michigan City, La Porte, Westville, Kingsford Heights, and Rolling Prairie. Their new facility in Michigan City will allow them to serve even more children and families in the area. However, additional funding is still required to complete the project.

Bob Havens, Executive Vice President of Members Advantage Credit Union, highlighted the importance of supporting local initiatives. "Investing in our community's youth is an investment in our future. We are honored to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of LaPorte County and their incredible work. This new facility will be a cornerstone of opportunity for future generations."

Members Advantage Credit Union is committed to building stronger communities through financial support, education, and service initiatives.
