“We care about the whole wellbeing of our members. This dedication to helping those who serve or have served is at the heart of who we are,” said Mehdi Dinia, vice president of membership at Navy Federal. “Whether it’s planting flowers in a Veteran’s yard, preparing a meal for a military family or volunteering at a VA hospital, we encourage everyone to give back to the military community in a way that’s meaningful to them.”

For example, employee Natasha J. helped a lost Veteran member in the early stages of dementia find his way home. Her service didn’t end there, as a few weeks later, she sent him a set of dog tags and a silver ID bracelet. Read more about this story on the Navy Federal Blog.

The credit union is also donating over $100,000 to Operation Gratitude as a proud partner in their mission to provide hands-on volunteer opportunities in the military community. Throughout the month of May, Navy Federal employees can volunteer remotely or in-person across the credit union’s Virginia, Florida and California campuses to make paracord lanyards and cards, which will be distributed by Operation Gratitude to servicemembers around the world.
