As part of the grand opening celebration of its Mercury Boulevard office in Murfreesboro, Heritage South Community Credit Union wants to grow its membership while helping a few of its neighbors at the same time. You can join the community credit union in this endeavor by visiting its office at 1115 Mercury Blvd. the week of June 20–25.

For every new member who joins Heritage South Community Credit Union at the Mercury Boulevard office during that grand opening week, the credit union will donate $25 in the new member’s name to one of four local nonprofits: Linebaugh Library, Habitat of Rutherford County, Hope Clinic or Special Kids. The organization that receives the most donations during grand opening week will also receive a $2,500 bonus donation from the credit union. Here’s some information about the organizations that will benefit from the HSCCU membership drive:

Linebaugh Library is building a technology center down the street from the HSCCU Mercury office on the campus of Hobgood Elementary School. Rick Deal, HSCCU Mercury office manager, said, “We’re excited to have them in our neighborhood. Including them in our effort to support nonprofits nearby seemed the right thing to do!”

Special Kids is special. Located on East Main Street near the Mercury Boulevard/Main Street merge, this organization provides therapy and services to children with special needs. Deal said, “No doubt, donations made on behalf of our new members will be helpful in many ways.”

Habitat of Rutherford County is located near the HSCCU office on Mercury Boulevard across from Patterson Park. “The Habitat program is one near and dear to the hearts of many of HSCCU members,” Deal commented. “Helping to benefit their housing efforts in our community is an honor.”

Hope Clinic opened a neighborhood location a couple of blocks from the HSCCU Mercury office at the corner of Hancock Street. “They provide primary health care to many in our neighborhood. We’re hopeful that our efforts to provide them donations will benefit some of the people we work with every day,” Deal noted.

Heritage South members take pride in helping when others won’t. If you like associating with businesses that take pride in helping others, Heritage South Community Credit Union might be worth checking out. This new office is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Membership in Heritage South Community Credit Union is available for anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Rutherford, Bedford or Marshall County.
