More than 200 helped community as part of annual ‘Neighbors Day’

BATON ROUGE – Hundreds of Neighbors Federal Credit Union employees gave their time this week helping local charities. 

The company said more than 200 employees took part in “Neighbors Day” on Monday. Those employees spent roughly 1,000 total hours on their holiday helping charitable organizations throughout the Baton Rouge area.
