WESTconsin Credit Union Pledges Support to Stepping Stones of Dunn County

WESTERN, WI— WESTconsin Credit Union is pleased to announce their increased pledge to Stepping Stones of Dunn County. According to their mission statement, Stepping Stones is an organization of “people helping people strengthen the Dunn County community by providing food, shelter and support.” The added monies provided by WESTconsin Credit Union will support a new delivery van, Van GOgh, that will help with food delivery and distribution in Dunn County.

“Though WESTconsin’s main goal is to support our members’ financial wellbeing, our philosophy of people helping people is a major influence in everything we do.” says Stephanie Rasmussen, WESTconsin Credit Union Chief Experience Officer. She continues, “we are pleased to have the opportunity to support the expansion of the food delivery program from Stepping Stones for those in need.”

Executive Director of Stepping Stones, Padraig Gallagher, said about the donation, “we are excited for the increased support that WESTconsin Credit Union is providing to our programs and the community. This sponsorship will allow us to maintain a vehicle for our Community Connections program, helping low-income seniors live independently in their homes.” He continues, “the van will be used for senior home visits throughout Dunn County, including food deliveries and volunteer projects. Thank you, WESTconsin Credit Union!” If you would like information about the Community Connections, Food Pantry, or Shelter programs, please call or email Stepping Stones of Dunn County at (715) 235-2920 or [email protected].
