The West End Daycare Centre's received a boost recently from the Portage Credit Union.

Credit Union Marketing Coordinator Stacy Turner says they've donated $4,000 to the daycare because it was something they really needed.

"It really was. We discussed it, and talked about it, and Dave Omichinski our CEO was right on with it. It was really absolutely a 'no brainer'. We heard there were some expenses needed -- and basically -- it was absolutely... They're a big part of our community, and we're definitely pleased we can help them with it."

Daycare Executive Director Janice Delf says they're overjoyed to have the Portage Credit Union help out, and explains what's needed at the centre.

"For us, our central air conditioning unit went late last fall, and along with that we've had some unexpected repairs to our building having to redo eaves troughs, and then we had some damage done to the basement due to water. So we had some extra expenses that we hadn't counted on, and we approached the Credit Union to see if they could give us some assistance."

Delf says they're excited to get the work finished, and are very thankful for the help.
