TruStone Financial Donates Nearly 1,000 Toys and $1,750 for Holidays

PLYMOUTH, Minn. (Dec. 23, 2020) – TruStone Financial Federal Credit Union, the TruStone Financial Foundation and TruStone Home Mortgage recently donated nearly 1,000 toys and $1,750 to charity for the holidays. Donations of new, unwrapped toys as well as cash were gathered at the credit union’s branches and corporate center in Plymouth, MN. Donations collected in Minnesota were given to Toys for Tots, and donations collected in Wisconsin were given to the Salvation Army’s toy drive.

To deepen the drive’s impact, TruStone Financial and TruStone Home Mortgage employees were encouraged to donate toys or money to Toys for Tots through their December Casual for a Cause day, a program where employees have the opportunity to wear jeans in exchange for a donation to a designated charity. Monetary donations were matched by the TruStone Financial Foundation, so the credit union was able to donate a total of $1,750 to Toys for Tots.

Justin Hebner, a United States Marine Corps veteran and Mortgage Closing Specialist at TruStone Home Mortgage, has coordinated TruStone’s Toys for Tots drive for the past six years. “Every year, we are ecstatic to see how many toys are donated,” he said. “Our communities need support now more than ever, and it was amazing to see our employees and members come through for kids in need this holiday season.”
