Lizeth GeorgeThe credit union community across Alabama, Florida, and Georgia has truly leaned in to offer mobile branches, hot spots, and other resources to assist those impacted by Hurricane Ian. A true demonstration of the credit difference – credit unions who were directly impacted by the hurricane have offered support and resources to others in need.
Additionally, staff from the League of Southeastern Credit Unions & Affiliates delivered the first round of generators to areas across the coasts of Florida impacted by Hurricane Ian last week with more on the way.
Due to the devastating impacts of Hurricane Ian, millions of Floridians were left without power, homes, vehicles, and more. Please consider contributing to the Southeastern Credit Union Foundation or to CU Aid to assist credit unions, teams, and members in their recovery efforts.
Every penny contributed goes directly to credit union employees and volunteers in the event of a natural disaster like Hurricane Ian.
We are also requesting donations for those affected by Hurricane Ian. We are specifically looking for:
- Generators
- Hot Spots
