BRIGHTON, Mich. Oct. 27, 2025 – Lake Trust Credit Union (Lake Trust), a community-based credit union serving nearly 200,000 members and businesses throughout Michigan, supported 39 Michigan-based nonprofit organizations as part of its eighth annual Powered by Good Day. A total of 322 Lake Trust team members volunteered their time throughout the day, and the Lake Trust Foundation donated a sum of $39,000 to participating nonprofits.

“Powered by Good Day has become a beloved tradition and an opportunity for the entire team to come together to bring Lake Trust’s mission to life directly in communities we serve,” said David Snodgrass, Lake Trust’s President and CEO. “As a purpose-driven credit union, this day of support truly reflects our commitment to uplifting and enhancing the wellbeing of not just our members but the communities they are a part of.”

On Monday, October 13, Lake Trust team members could be found supporting community centers, food banks, homeless shelters and more across the state of Michigan.
