SECUF offers Disaster Relief Fund to assist credit unions in need

In times of natural disasters, concern for our credit unions and the communities they serve is a top priority for the LSCU and the Southeastern Credit Union Foundation (SECUF). In an effort to meet the needs of our credit unions in times of disaster, the SECUF has a Disaster Relief Fund that is available to assist our credit unions, employees, volunteers and the communities that have been impacted.

Grants are available to fund emergency needs, as well as, long-term and ongoing needs. As we open the grant applications for Hurricane Sally, contributions and donations are being accepted and are greatly appreciated. To make a donation, click HERE.

Have you been personally impacted by Hurricane Sally? Through assistance with the SECUF and the National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF), disaster relief funds are now available and can be used for a broad range of disaster-related needs as identified by credit unions in affected areas and approved by the SECUF. During Phase I of disaster relief, these needs include, but are not limited to the following items:

• Critical Needs – Credit union employees and volunteers can receive assistance for items for daily living such as, but not limited to food, water, ice, batteries, clothing, diapers, temporary shelter, housing, gas and transportation.
