AMOCO Federal Credit Union is teaming up with Galveston Island Humane Society to raise funds through their “Create Change” program. Through this generous program, you can generate funds for our organization with no out-of-pocket costs!AMOCO’s program first began in 2010 when they decided to make an impact on the Galveston County Community. One idea to donate $25 to local Galveston County food pantries for every auto loan booked escalated into donating 1 percent from multiple loans to over 30 non-profit organizations.Funds donated through this program make it possible for Galveston Island Humane Society to assist those who need us the most.
AMOCO’s program is simple: Finance your next loan with AMOCO.
Tell your loan representative that you would like AMOCO to match 1% of your loan amount and pay it forward to Galveston Island Humane Society.
You’re done. It’s really that easy! AMOCO will take care of the rest.
For more information, please contact Caroline Dorsett-Pate at 409.740.1919 or cpate@galvestonhumane.org. Information about the “Create Change” program is available at www.createchangewithAMOCO.org.
