Kraig Casey, Pathways Financial Credit Union’s Director of Business Services & Development, and Penny Russell, Springfield Branch Manager, presented Julie Rose, HR and Administrative Coordinator of Project Woman, a check for $3,000 to help fund the organization’s services and programming.

“Pathways is always looking for ways to support our local community. We hope that this small donation can help someone get out of a dangerous situation and get their life back with the programs provided by Project Woman,” said Russell.
