Freedom Credit Union Supports Westover Galaxy Community Council

SPRINGFIELD — Freedom Credit Union is spotlighting the Westover Galaxy Community Council as its charitable recipient for the month of November, encouraging members and the public to make contributions at any branch in the region. The nonprofit organization is made up of veterans, local businesspeople, and community advocates who support the men, women, and mission of Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee, the nation’s largest air reserve base.

Formed more than three decades ago, the council promotes a strong and enduring relationship between the base and the local community, raising funds to assist with events, morale-building initiatives, and special needs at Westover. Its work helps bring community support to service members and enhances major outreach efforts such as the Great New England Air Show.

“Freedom Credit Union is proud to highlight the vital work being done right here in our community and to support the dedicated members of Westover Air Reserve Base,” Freedom Credit Union President Glenn Welch said. “This is a moment for our members to give back to those who serve and strengthen the deep community connection that has always surrounded the base.”

Monetary donations to the Westover Galaxy Community Council may be made at any Freedom Credit Union branch through Nov. 29. In addition, on Giving Tuesday, Dec. 2, all in-branch donations made toward this cause will be matched by Freedom Credit Union up to a total of $2,500, allowing donors to double their impact.
