Gonzales Regional Children’s Advocacy Center had a surprise visit from Monica Greathouse (right) on May 10, where she presented a check to Norma’s House for $203. This contribution is made possible through a relationship with National Auto Care Corporation, an Ohio based company, which allows Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union to select charitable organizations that help meet the needs of our community.
