Last week, the local law enforcement in Plano had a little something extra to be thankful for, courtesy of the Credit Union of Texas. The financial institution made its way over to the police department headquarters, not with banking queries or financial advice, but with a community food truck in tow, as they hosted a lunch event in recognition of Thank an Officer Day. The gesture was a nod of gratitude towards the officers for their service to the community.
"We were proud to share that Credit Union of Texas had the honor of supporting the Plano Police Department on their Thank an Officer Day," the Plano Texas Police Department stated on social media. Accompanying officers, the Credit Union of Texas served meals from its community food truck, which was, sailed by the headquarters to provide lunch.
The Credit Union of Texas has a history of community involvement, and its support of the police department is just the latest example. Having served the local community in various capacities, the credit union sees these acts of kindness as part of its larger commitment to give back to those who serve.
While the sight of a food truck is often associated with casual street fairs and outdoor festivals, seeing one roll up to serve local law enforcement comes as a refreshing change. This simple act by the Credit Union of Texas, armed with nothing more than the culinary tools of hospitality, underscored the community's appreciation for the men and women in blue. It's gestures like these that solidify the bonds between residents, local businesses, and public servants.
