September 16, 2019
Representatives from five Portland-area credit unions joined your Association Monday at the Better Future Awards Luncheon sponsored by Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR-1).
The congressperson honored three community organizations for making a positive difference providing educational, business, and healthcare opportunities.

Organizations presented with awards include:
- Adelante Chicas program. This organization, which means “women rise up” partners with local public schools and families to offer after-school programming, leadership, and community service opportunities for Latina youth and their families.

- Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center. Named for a 6-year daughter of migrant farmworkers who died from a treatable condition due to barriers to healthcare, the center provides medical services to nearly 50,000 people across Washington and Yamhill counties.
