Happy Independence Day! We remember today as America’s birthday, but it’s also much more than that. It’s the celebration of what freedom means, of generations of men and women who gave their lives to protect our freedom, and of the kind of life we have can lead here in America.

As we reflect on the meaning of freedom, we want to hear your story! Whether it's about yours or a family member’s time in the military, your family’s story of coming to America, or something unique, what does freedom mean to you?

Since day one, our top priority has been to help build the lives of hard-working people. While many things have changed during these times, our mission hasn’t. The COVID-19 crisis gave us a chance to put our defining values into action. Over the past few months, we’ve gone into overdrive preparing ways to help the community get through these trying times.

When everything else seems chaotic, it feels great to hear exciting news! For our Added Advantage members, the Summer Giveaway has been a bright spot in their month. We host our Added Advantage giveaways bi-annually to show our hard-working members how much their support means to us. But this year, with everything that has been going on, we’ve been even more excited to be able to help our members and give out these prizes.
