Robins Financial Credit Union recently contributed $100,000 to the United Way of Central Georgia.

This year the United Way of Central Georgia is celebrating their 100^th Anniversary. Originally founded in 1922 as the Community Chest of Macon and Bibb County, the organization was created to conduct a single, community-wide fundraising campaign for local nonprofit agencies. Through the years, Community Chest of Macon and Bibb County grew and expanded along with other similar agencies in the area. In 1989 this organization along with similar community organizations formed the United Way of Central Georgia.  

Robins Financial Credit Union holds an annual employee fundraising campaign. This year, a total of 77% of the employees pledged over $64,000 from their campaign. This amount, along with other donations, brought the overall total raised to $100,000 to honor United Way of Central Georgia’s 100^th Anniversary.

Robins Financial Credit Union is a local non-profit financial cooperative with twenty-two branches in central Georgia. Robins Financial currently provides financial services to over 239,000 members, with assets exceeding $3.8 billion.
