Carolinas Credit Union Foundation

?? We are keeping all of those impacted by Hurricane Helene in our thoughts as efforts are underway to locate the missing and restore lines of communications, power and water across the Carolinas. We know the road to recovery will be long for many areas in our two states. The Carolinas Credit Union League & Foundation are supporting the needs of credit unions and their employees through our Disaster Relief Fund. Read more here -> https://lnkd.in/e9xCWm9w Details on applying for relief aid are here -> https://lnkd.in/er7HwJXm Credit unions are also leading the charge in their own communities to coordinate supply collections & deliveries and donate to first responders, emergency management agencies, local governments, and non-profit organizations. We remain committed to our credit union philosophy of “People Helping People” and know the resilience of those in the Carolinas will prevail.?

As the full impact of Hurricane Helene on the Carolinas continues to unfold, significant damage has been reported in the foothills and mountain regions of both states. The Carolinas Credit Union Foundation is ready to support #creditunion employees and their families affected by the storm through its Disaster Relief Fund. We encourage those in need to apply for assistance, and for those able to contribute, donations to the fund are welcomed.
