I’m long overdue on this post. Apologies to our new friends in central Ohio.

Hopewell Federal Credit Union has recently deployed GiveWith.Us. The site, http://hopewellfcu.givewith.us will connect the Heath and Newark, Ohio communities with the credit union and provide a resource for non-profits and local groups to connect with volunteers.

We’ve been working with SELCO Community Credit Union in Eugene, Oregon, to complete the feature set for GWU to make it more user-friendly and easier to navigate. The final changes are near completion and will be rolled out soon.

Hopewell FCU, née Heath Federal Credit Union, then Newark Aerospace Federal Credit Union, serves Licking County, Ohio, east of Columbus. A little trivia for you from Hopewell’s website:

Just a stone’s throw from our main office you can visit the Newark Earthworks Complex of prehistoric Indian earthworks – better known to locals in the area as the mounds. These earthly mounds are unique and some say you can still find arrowheads around the surrounding mounds. The mounds form geometric shapes and some rise to impressive heights. Pretty impressive, considering the Hopewell mound building era began around 300 B.C. to 1500 A.D. There’s still debate as to what the Hopewell Indians used them for, but most historians believe they were created for burial and religious rites.

So, to Cammie and all the staff at Hopewell FCU: Welcome!
