Southern Security partnered with Youth Villages for the West Tennessee Holiday Heroes initiative, making the holiday season brighter for local youth in need.
On December 13, Southern Security team members volunteered at the Youth Villages Holiday Workshop, wrapping, packing and sorting gifts for distribution at upcoming Youth Villages Christmas parties. The credit union also fulfilled holiday wish lists for 24 youth across two cabins, ensuring every child experienced the magic of the season.
“We are honored to be able to offer this support to Youth Villages as they care for children, who are the future of our communities,” said Dawn Graeter, president and CEO of Southern Security. “We hope this partnership can assist this organization’s impactful work in advocating for local youth and restoring families.”
