Lizeth GeorgeAfter Hurricane Helene left essential services disrupted, Calhoun Liberty Credit Union (CLCU) had the opportunity to assist its sister credit union, Georgia Power Valdosta Federal Credit Union. CLCU deployed its innovative solar-powered ATM trailer, providing immediate financial access to those most affected, ensuring vital banking services were available when they were needed most.
This effort reflects a long-standing commitment that began after the devastation of Hurricane Michael in 2018. Having witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by communities in times of disaster, CLCU recognized the importance of providing uninterrupted banking services in critical moments. Years of careful planning and innovation resulted in the creation of this self-sufficient, solar-powered ATM—designed to support our members and communities during times of need.
CLCU’s solar-powered ATM trailer demonstrates our continued mission to support communities when they need it most. By extending this resource to CLCU’s sister credit union and their members, CLCU upholds the credit union philosophy of ‘people helping people’—offering a helping hand in difficult times.
CLCU’s commitment to service and innovation ensures that financial resources remain accessible during hardship, reflecting the strength and resilience that credit unions bring to the communities they serve.
