As part of the PenFed Promise Card Challenge, PenFed will be making a donation to the Marine Toys for Tots program and Homes for Our Troops. Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve, which distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. Homes for Our Troops is a privately funded 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization building specially adapted, mortgage-free homes nationwide for the most severely injured Veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan.
"We are very pleased to welcome the Pentagon Federal Credit Union as a corporate partner of the 2014 Marine Toys for Tots Campaign," said retired Marine Major Bill Grein, vice president of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. “With their generous support, we will be able to fulfill the Christmas holiday dreams of thousands of less fortunate children who otherwise might have been forgotten."
“Homes for Our Troops appreciate the support of Pentagon Federal Credit Union,” said Major General, USA Ret. Timothy P. McHale, president and director of Homes for Our Troops. “Because of the support from patriotic companies across the nation, we are able to restore freedom and independence back to our severely injured veterans through the gift of a specially adapted home.”
