SPRINGFIELD — MassMutual Federal Credit Union (MMFCU) recently participated in MassMutual’s Live Mutual week, dedicating time to volunteer and give back to the community. Throughout the week, MMFCU staff came together to make meaningful contributions by partnering with several local organizations.

MMFCU employees volunteered their time and energy at the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts, where they helped sort, pack, and distribute 3,460 pounds of food to those facing food insecurity in the region.

Additionally, staff collaborated with both the Dakin Humane Society and the Connecticut Humane Society, supporting their efforts to protect and care for animals. Volunteers rolled up their sleeves to assist with facility upkeep and created enrichment packages for the animals, positively impacting the lives of countless pets and their future families.

“At MMFCU, giving back is part of who we are,” said Lisa Asadourian, president and CEO of MassMutual Federal Credit Union. “Our week of volunteering was not only about supporting great organizations, but also about strengthening the bonds within our own MassMutual family and the communities we call home.”

SPRINGFIELD — MassMutual Federal Credit Union (MMFCU) announced the successful completion of its April children’s book drive, which saw the collection of almost 400 books through local member donations and a customized Amazon wish list. The books collected were donated to a member-nominated school, Talmadge Elementary in Springfield, providing students with valuable resources to enrich their educational experience.

MMFCU will match the value of books collected for Talmadge Elementary with donations to Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers in Boston and O’Connor Elementary School in Mesa, Ariz. This initiative will ensure that the impact of the book drive extends well beyond Springfield.

MMFCU’s commitment to community service went beyond the book drive. The credit union partnered with MassMutual’s Community Responsibility team to organize a volunteer effort to assemble activity kits for the recipient schools. These kits are designed to provide engaging and educational activities that complement the donated books, further enhancing the students’ learning experiences.

The success of the book drive and volunteer efforts underscores MMFCU’s dedication to supporting education. The collaboration with MassMutual’s Community Responsibility team highlights the power of collective efforts in making a meaningful difference in the lives of young learners.

MMFCU extends its sincerest gratitude to all donors and volunteers who contributed to this year’s children’s book drive.
