Connex Credit Union Supports Roses for Autism
As a part of Connex Credit Union’s community-giving program ConnexCares, Connex Credit Union recently donated $468.09 to Roses for Autism from the fees collected by Connex’s coin-cashing machine at the Guilford branch. Connex’s “Coins-for-Change” program charges a five percent fee to members and a seven percent fee to non-members and donates the fees collected to charitable organizations in the local community.
Roses for Autism is a social enterprise designed to give valuable work experience to people living with autism, and help them to obtain professional and social skills that will allow them to eventually gain meaningful employment and achieve personal success. The employees of Roses for Autism partake in the dynamic business of growing and selling a variety of different flowers. To learn more about the program, or to support the cause by purchasing flowers, visit www.rosesforautism.com.
Local non-profit or charitable organizations interested in participating in the “Coins-for-Change” program may contact Roquita Johnson at Connex Credit Union at 203-603-5787 or rjohnson@connexcu.org.
