With Hurricane Ian quickly approaching, the League of Southeastern Credit Unions & Affiliates wants you to know we are closely monitoring the situation and are ready to assist you however possible during the storm and throughout the recovery process. During times like this, concern for our credit unions and the communities you serve is a top priority.
The Southeast Credit Union Foundation (SECUF) has Disaster Relief Funds available to assist credit unions, employees, and volunteers who may be impacted. Grants are available to fund emergency needs as well as long-term recovery efforts. These needs include, but are not limited to the following items:
- Critical needs: items for daily living such as food, water, ice, batteries, clothing, diapers, temporary shelters, gas, and transportation.
- Longer-term recovery needs: assistance rebuilding or relocating to a new home, replacing lost vehicles and household items.
Disaster relief funds can be applied for here.
