Municipal Credit Union Foundation Donates $100,000 to Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley

The MCU Foundation, the charitable arm of Municipal Credit Union (MCU), today announced it has donated $100,000 to the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley. This gift will go directly to providing support for families seeking treatment at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, many of whom are residents of the New York City area. The Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley (RMHGHV) provides support to hundreds of families each year while their children receive essential medical treatments and care, allowing families the ability to spend every minute possible at their child’s side.

The MCU Foundation’s donation underscores its ongoing support of New Yorkers who need support to help cover basic necessities, especially in moments of high financial stress. When families travel from New York City to seek services at the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley provides them with food and housing so they can focus on caring for their children. In addition to the financial donation from the MCU Foundation, employees of MCU will have opportunities to volunteer at RMHGHV to help young patients and their families.”The MCU Foundation is committed to forging powerful partnerships with organizations that embody our core values and share our dedication to uplifting New Yorkers,” said George Chacon, CEO of the MCU Foundation. “The remarkable resilience displayed by these children and their families is an inspiration to all of us. We’re proud to not only provide this critical financial support but also to involve our team through meaningful volunteer initiatives.”
“A gift of this magnitude reflects the power of community and the incredible impact we can make when we come together,” said Brittany Moretti, Executive Director of RMHGHV. “With this support, we can provide vital resources to families in need, ensuring they have the stability and assistance necessary to help their children heal. We are deeply grateful for this contribution and the continued commitment to strengthening our community.”
