NuMark Credit Union Serves Communities in Honor of Annual Day of Service
NuMark Credit Union (NuMark) employees and family members had a busy day last Monday, October 13th, as they spread out into the surrounding communities to serve a few local nonprofits as part of their annual CU Kind (CUK) Day celebration!

CU Kind Day first started as a small project created by Affinity Plus Credit Union in Minnesota in 2018. The idea caught on quickly, and the following year it was adopted by credit unions in Illinois, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, as well as expanded to other credit unions in Minnesota. Just last year in Illinois alone, over 900 volunteers donated more than 5,400 hours of their time volunteering, including NuMark volunteers. For this year’s CU Kind Day outreach, NuMark staff split into five groups to help expand their reach to more members of the community.
“I love CU Kind Day. Our Credit union mission is “people helping people” and this day gives us a chance to make a difference,” said Michelle Balog, President and CEO of NuMark Credit Union. “Nearly a third of our staff took advantage of one of our four volunteer opportunities. I’m so proud of their support and willingness to serve people in our communities. This is what the credit union movement is all about.”
