Peoples Advantage Federal Credit Union Supports Veterans During the Shutdown

At Peoples Advantage Federal Credit Union, the commitment to service took on new meaning during the recent government shutdown. When a longtime member, a veteran and federal employee with more than 15 years of service, faced financial hardship, the credit union stepped in to help. Although he continued reporting to work without pay, the mounting costs of gas, car repairs, and everyday essentials became difficult to manage. People’s Advantage Federal Credit Union responded quickly to ensure he could stay on his feet without sacrificing his responsibilities or peace of mind.

Recognizing his dedication and need, Peoples Advantage Federal Credit Union advanced the pay that had been withheld at zero percent interest, allowing him to keep up with essential costs and focus on his service without additional stress.

This simple yet powerful act reflects what credit unions stand for; neighbors helping neighbors and communities standing together in times of uncertainty. We are reminded of the impact that compassion and cooperation can have for those who have given so much in return.
