On Thursday, the local Northern Inland Credit Union branch hosted a Cupcake for a Cause event, raising more than $300 for Can Assist Gunnedah.

Gunnedah branch manager, Jen Elphick said the union was community-minded.

“It’s about how credit unions can support local grass roots causes,” she said.

Can Assist will also receive a funding boost from its annual Halloween ball on October 28.
