Nusenda outlined that Community Day in 2023 centered on aiding New Mexico's higher education institutions. Nusenda employees joined forces with seven partners across the state, including Central New Mexico Community College Foundation, New Mexico State University, New Mexico Tech, Santa Fe Community College, University of New Mexico, University of New Mexico Hospitals, and University of New Mexico Taos according to a press release by Nusenda.
“Nusenda is committed to making a positive difference in the communities we serve,” said Nusenda President and CEO Joe Christian. “Volunteerism is a core value of the Credit Union, and we are passionate about providing opportunities for our employees to make a tangible impact in the places they live and serve. We are grateful to our employees for giving back and appreciate our partners for such meaningful collaboration.”
“On behalf of CNM, we’re extremely grateful that Nusenda would choose to support our students in need for their day of service,” said Nireata Seals, CNM Vice President of Enrollment Management and Student Success. “Nusenda’s generous offer to gather and donate more than 100 bags filled with toiletries, diapers, and other useful goods to stock our Food Pantries on Main, South Valley, and Westside campuses is heart-warming. These donations, which are distributed free of charge at our Food Pantries, provide some much-needed relief to our students and their families who face significant financial challenges as they try to persist in their education and goals for a better life."
