Credit Union Donates Money

Sharonview Federal Credit Union presented three different $1,000 checks to help three Simpsonville organizations and to promote the grand opening of their new branch in the city.

$1,000 was given to Mt. Zion Baptist Church Food Bank, $1,000 to the City of Simpsonville Victim Advocate (Closet of Goods) and $1,000 to the Center for Community Services at their ribbon cutting last week in the Martin Farms Shopping Center at 710 Fairview Road, the location of that new branch.

"Sharonview Cares, our charitable giving arm, is committed to providing support to local nonprofits whose mission is focused on financial literacy education, eradicating homelessness and alleviating hunger in the communities we serve," said Rondel Hartwell, VP of Marketing at Sharonview Federal Credit Union. "We are honored to support local community partners whose missions align with our corporate charitable giving pillars."

The new Simpsonville location features a barn-style design to pay homage to the land’s roots as the Martin Family Farm. The site has grown and developed over the years from what was once vast farmland, with this branch being one of the latest additions.

“The Sharonview team is excited to have the opportunity to bring our services to the outstanding community of Simpsonville,” said Craig Valdes, Branch Manager of the Simpsonville location. “We aim to help our members improve their financial standing while embracing the history of the Martin Family Farm through this new location.”
