CommonWealth One’s 2010 Annual Warm Hearts Coat Drive

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Alexandria, Virginia, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) November 10, 2010 -- CommonWealth One Federal Credit Union has launched its 6th annual Warm Hearts Coat Drive at its Main, Harrisonburg and Front Royal, Virginia branches. During November and December, CommonWealth One will collect not only winter coats, but also scarves, mittens or gloves and hats from its members to donate to local shelters in the communities that it serves.

Last year, CommonWealth One collected more than 50 coats and other winter clothing from its members and hopes to achieve more this year. Those items were donated to Rising Hope in Alexandria, VA, the Mercy House in Harrisonburg, VA and to House of Hope and C-Cap in Front Royal, VA.

CommonWealth One has a strong commitment to supporting the communities we serve and the members who live there. CommonWealth One not only supports local charities during the holiday giving season, but also throughout the year by donating to the Children’s Miracle Network, Walk to Fight Breast Cancer, Community Partners for Children, and others.

CommonWealth One’s Headquarters is located at 4875 Eisenhower Avenue in Alexandria, Virginia. We encourage you to join us at CommonWealth One Federal Credit Union and become a member and experience the difference of banking with a credit union! If you live, work or worship in Washington, DC or select areas of Virginia, you may be eligible to join the credit union with only a $5 deposit into a share account. CommonWealth One Federal Credit Union is Washington DC’s credit union of choice, serving members in Washington DC, Northern Virginia, Front Royal and Harrisonburg.

CommonWealth One Federal Credit Union offers Checking Accounts, Mortgages, Home Loans, Auto Loans, Savings Accounts, Money Market accounts, IRAs and more in Washington, DC or Virginia. We have remained true to our philosophy of "people helping people" - providing members with loans, savings plans, and special services to achieve their long-term financial goals and help them enjoy a better way of life. Our excess earnings are returned to our members in the form of higher dividend rates, lower interest rates on loans and low or no fees. Please visit us online at www.cofcu.org for more information.
