County Credit Union makes annual $1,000 donation to H.E.A.L.
County Credit Union donates to H.E.A.L.: Stop Heroin every year.
County Credit Union donated $1,000 to the Heroin Education & Awareness League, a nonprofit group raising awareness and educating communities about the dangers of opiates and other harmful drugs.
“County Credit Union is proud to contribute to this worthy cause,” says David Bueneman, County Credit Union president/CEO. “We donate annually to H.E.A.L. to de-stigmatize substance abuse disorders.”
H.E.A.L. is an official prevention coalition through Missouri’s Department of Mental Health. The organization began after founders Ellis Fitzwalter and Patti Fitzwalter lost their son, Michael Fitzwalter, to a heroin overdose.
