60 Acts of Kindness
Celebrating 60 Years with 60 Acts of Kindness
In 2025, Med Park Credit Union will celebrate 60 years of serving our members and community. To mark this milestone, we’re focusing on spreading positivity through 60 acts of kindness throughout the year. Our acts of kindness will include simple gestures like leaving notes of encouragement on cars, picking up litter in our parking lot, or sending birthday cards to our members. We’ll also organize impactful efforts like donation drives and delivering treats to local first responders. This initiative reflects our commitment to the values that have guided us for six decades. It’s our way of saying thank you to the community that has supported us through the years. Follow along as we share updates on each act of kindness, and join us in making a difference in 2025. Together, we can create a ripple effect of goodwill and gratitude in our community.
