Unitus Community Credit Union of Portland, Ore., celebrated 75 years of service this summer. 

To mark the occasion, Unitus recently held several celebratory events with free food and prizes at each of its eight branches, including a complimentary community concert at Unitus Plaza in downtown Portland. Unitus staff also initiated many random acts of kindness benefiting animal shelters and families with sick children. 

One particular action came in response to a community partner's cry for help. Unitus saw the Good Neighbor Center's Facebook post asking for emergency assistance during an extreme food shortage for their temporarily homeless family guests. So Unitus' kindness crew responded with a surprise delivery truck from Safeway with enough groceries to fill the food pantry's shelves.
