Arrowhead in the Community | 2016

ArrowHeart FoundationThe ArrowHeart Foundation is a community service

effort established by Arrowhead Credit Union in 2013.

Through ArrowHeart, our purpose is to give back to the

communities we serve.

Financial EducationOur Money Mentor program grew in 2016. We held more

than 83 Financial Workshops for local schools

and organizations; educating children, young adults, and

adults on being responsible with their money, and saving

for future goals.

COMMUNITY SERVICE REPORT | 2016

Backpacksfor StudentsWe partnered with HomeAid Inland Empire and

Operation Grace to help local children living in shelters.

Our team members donated and filled 100 new backpacks

with more than 6,300 school supplies,

giving the children a fresh start for the new school year.

2016 Believe WalkSupporting local cancer programs energized our 124

volunteers to raise funds and walk together at the

9th Annual Believe Walk.

Team members hosted their own fundraisers,

collecting more than $9,500, becoming

the third largest corporate fundraising team!

Diaper DutyWhen homeless families need help with basic needs, even

the smallest donation can make a big difference.

We partnered with HomeAid Inland Empire to help care

for infants and young children living in local shelters by

collecting more than 20,000 items –

including 6,000 diapers, 14,000 baby wipes, and other

basic necessities.

A Flag forEvery HeroWe hold military heroes close to our heart. Our 125

volunteers placed American flags at the graves of

more than 250,000 Veterans buried at

Riverside National Cemetery.

Together with our families, we helped display a flag at the

gravesite of every fallen hero.

Luke’s PrideRocky Raccoon joined our team members at Luke’s Pride

Community Day, bringing hugs and smiles.

Held at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital, the

event allows young patients and their families to enjoy a

day of crafts and games.

Red Nose DayOur team got seriously silly about making a difference for

kids on Red Nose Day.

Red Nose Day is a global campaign

to raise awareness and money for impoverished children

across the world.

Kind is the New CoolWhether it’s handing out an umbrella on a rainy day or

delivering bagels for the nurses and staff at local

hospitals, we love bringing a smile to someone’s day with

random acts of kindness.

Every month our new team members get to experience

our culture first hand with their own random acts of

kindness. It has become a beloved tradition at Arrowhead.

We’ve made a difference in our community.

One kind gesture at a time.

Reality CheckWe are passionate about financial education.

This year, we developed a game to teach teens

about credit scores, budgeting, and the importance

of saving.

Their parents noted that not a single teen was on their

phone for the entire two hours. Success.

Snacks for USOWe greeted hundreds of Marines as they made their way

through the Ontario Bob Hope USO with words of

appreciation, and more than 7,500 snacks

and beverages.

“The support Arrowhead is providing the troops is truly amazing.”- Kristen Ramirez, Center Manager, Ontario Bob Hope USO

Thanksgiving MealsWe filled a delivery van for Mary’s Table, part of

Mary’s Mercy Center in San Bernardino. More than

2,300 food items helped fill their pantry for

the holidays.

Donations were used to help feed more than

800 individuals for Thanksgiving.

“It’s more than just feeding their bellies; it’s about feeding their souls.”

- Marsha Alquin, Director of Mary’s Table

Giving LifeHelping to ease the constant need for blood at local

hospitals, team members volunteered to donate blood,

many for the first time.

We donated 56 life-saving units, saving hundreds

of lives, one pint at a time, in the Inland Empire.

Toy DriveTeam members donated nearly $10,000 in toys

to support the 28th Annual Celebration of Giving toy

drive for Children’s Fund.

With the toys collected, more than 550 local children had a

special gift to celebrate the holidays.

Branching OutOur branch teams like to find ways to give back to their

local communities.

From fundraisers sending foster kids to camp, to helping

organize community centers and youth shelters,

we take pride in helping our neighbors.
