Mountain America Credit Union and Idaho Falls Spud Kings Partner to Keep Kids Warm
March 28 2024 - 4:28PM
Mountain America Credit Union recently partnered with the Idaho
Falls Spud Kings to donate $7,500 to Operation Warm based on the
number of goals the hockey team made during the 2023–2024 season.
This donation was made possible through the credit union’s ongoing
support of the Idaho Falls Spud Kings.
“It’s our responsibility to ensure every child has the warmth
and dignity they deserve,” said Sterling Nielsen, president and
chief executive officer at Mountain America Credit Union. “That’s
why we proudly support Operation Warm, because every coat and pair
of shoes donated is a step toward a brighter future for our
children.”
Since 2022, Mountain America has donated over $22,000 to
Operation Warm through the Spud Kings goals program. During the
final home game on March 21, 2024, Daeson Rueckert, regional
manager of member services at Mountain America Credit Union,
presented a check for $7,500 at the Mountain America Center in
Idaho Falls.
Operation Warm provides confidence, warmth, and hope to children
through the gift of brand-new winter coats and comfortable athletic
shoes. Mountain America has partnered with Operation Warm since
2019 to provide gifts of over 5,000 coats and 3,000 shoes to kids
across the credit union’s six-state footprint.
In October 2023, Mountain America volunteers gathered with
representatives from the Spud Kings and the Mountain America Center
to give away over 400 coats to A.H. Bush Elementary School students
in Idaho Falls. The coats were provided by the credit union’s
$15,000 donation for the 2022-2023 Spud Kings season.
