300 Texas Trust Employees Volunteer at Mission Arlington

ARLINGTON, Texas - Oct. 21, 2024 - PRLog -- Mission Arlington was this year's benefactor of Texas Trust Credit Union's all hands community service project.

More than 300 Texas Trust employees from around the DFW area spent a day collectively volunteering their time and talent to help the Arlington ministry. They helped restock the food pantry, sort and organize the clothes closet, and tend to general maintenance and other tasks.

In addition to the employees' volunteer service, the credit union's Community Unity team presented a $10,000 check to Tillie Burgin ("Miss Tillie"), founder of Mission Arlington. The donation was a combination of personal employee contributions and a corporate contribution from the credit union.

"Since 2014 we have assembled annually as a team to do something positive for the community," said Jim Minge, CEO of Texas Trust Credit Union. "It is a great way to build camaraderie and live out our industry motto of people helping people."

Miss Tillie was also the lunchtime speaker, telling the credit union employees that their efforts were going to help a lot of people, during a time of incredible need. She shared how much this partnership meant not only to Mission Arlington, but especially to the people they serve, expressing gratitude to Texas Trust and every team member.

"The connection we made with so many beautiful people on this day encouraged us and builds on the legacy of a long partnership with the Texas Trust family that will last long past this one opportunity," said Dr. Jim Burgin, Director of Communications for Mission Arlington. "We are truly grateful."
